A rather new genre for Russian television - a multi-series detective thriller. Director Yuri Bykov made a real breakthrough together with the production center "Wednesday".
Shooting the series "Metod" is a completely separate form of art. It is necessary to note the director's high professional approach to the process of shooting, especially to the rehearsal period and subsequent editing of the already filmed material. The main shooting locations are the streets, corners, and some buildings of the cities - Nizhny Novgorod and Dzerzhinsk, which are presented in the series as Moscow and Lipetsk. Abandoned houses, stone passages, winding alleys, and cozy, chaotically located areas in Nizhny Novgorod particularly attracted the attention of the filming crew. After all, it is in similar neighborhoods and houses that crimes of a maniacal nature could have been committed and the main characters could have lived.
Among the key characters, well selected in terms of acting realization, are:
Rodion Meglin - a unique person in life and work, his methods of crime solving are shocking, mesmerizing, and admirable. He is an investigator with deep emotional trauma and a strong character. The character was performed and skillfully revised by the deserved and most talented artist Konstantin Khabensky.
Yesenia Steklova - a young assistant to Rodion, balancing between naivety and skepticism, dreaming to find her mother's killer. The role belongs to the charming and emotional Paulina Andreeva ("Sarancha", "Dark World: Equilibrium", "Ottelel").
Andrey Sergeevich Steklov - Yesenia's father, who is a senior advisor to justice. He is very mysterious and closed. The role is played by actor Vitaly Kishchenko ("Sunstroke", "The Tower", etc.).
Zhenya - Yesenia's classmate, played by Alexander Petrov ("Attraction", "The Policeman from Rublyovka").
It is also worth noting that the project features Aleksandr Tsekalo, Aleksey Serebryakov, Evgeniya Simonova, Timofey Tribuntsev, Ivan Dobronravov, and other well-known actors.
