Marathon of desires with Ida Galich: why scold the series “Miracle”

The series revolves around a star blogger named Mia. She claims to know what people dream of and helps them achieve those dreams. She has millions of followers, they write their wishes on sheets, Mia chooses requests and sends them to heaven. The financial side of these wish marathons is of great interest to law enforcement.

Investigator Shikov, together with his wife, under the guise of ordinary fans, goes to a session of Mia. But the blogger has her own security service, the undercover investigator is quickly calculated, and Mia offers him to work with her in the open: get almost full access, do not interfere and count on the fulfillment of desires. Shikov could use the latter. Relations with his wife have reached a dead end, they do not succeed in becoming parents, mutual irritation is growing. Thus, all the main characters begin to experience the strength of faith in themselves, in love and, of course, in miracles.

It can be assumed that, according to the creators of the series, a certain element of reliability of what was happening was to provide a star blogger in the role of a star blogger. Mia is played by Ida Galich, whose activities have long gone beyond the blogosphere, but she gained popularity on the Internet.

Bloggers in movies and TV series are very common. Millions of subscribers who can become spectators cause unhealthy murmur among producers, so Internet celebrities are willing to turn into actors and actresses. As a rule, they get modest roles, but someone is more lucky. For example, Nastya Ivleeva starred together with Philip Yankovsky and Mark Eidelstein in the series Monastery and even received for her role not only waves of hat (without this in no way), but also compliments from some critics.

Ida Galich in "Miracle" often appears in the frame with Denis Shvedov, who plays investigator Shikov. Probably, there is always some risk in the interaction of a venerable actor (except Shvedov in the series are engaged Sergey Gilev, Anton Filipenko, Anastasia Ukolova, etc.) and a popular girl who also has filmography, but an actress in the traditional sense, she does not make it. However, the risk for both Ida and Denis was small. The dialogues and the very development of the plot here are such that Galich did not spoil them, and the Swedes, even with all their desire, would hardly pull out.

"Miracle" is a hot-themed series, but it's essentially a very standard federal melodrama. Those who wanted to find some detective component in the project, and maybe even attempts to artistically rethink the case of the queen of marathons of wishes Elena Blinovskaya, did not get anything similar. Instead, attempts at psychoanalysis, routine reflections on the topic of “fear your desires” and several popularized morals that it is better to rely on your own strength.

But there's some magic here. Not so much in the artistic solution, although it, unlike other federal melodramas, immediately catches the eye: Moscow as a ghost town of glass and concrete, a star blogger in luxurious white outfits, decline and luxury in one team. However, much more than a potential viewer can be attracted by a thirst for a miracle, which the main characters can not quench. Miracles, of course, everyone has their own, but the hope that someone will help the desires to come true is one for all. And this is not a script fiction, but a very realistic state of affairs.

I would like to break the jackpot and start living as you want. Solve all your problems, buy happiness and not depend on anyone. In a situation when darkness is thickening around, no one is particularly interested in your opinion and nothing depends on you, I really want to hope for a miracle. Suddenly, the universe will respond to you if you formulate your desire very clearly and convey it to someone who is able to work miracles. It’s so funny that you can cry.
