TV Review. Dostoyevsky , Series on Amazon. Made in Russia.

Not sure if I have reviewed this before but I just watched the last half of the series.

It is near unrelenting in evoking negative emotion and viewpoints. And it is true terrible things happened , bad in ways that ordinary people can not imagine.

It seems all the human suffering shown is contrasted with the beauty of the cities, the country and the people. That's just Russian art.

They didn't show the source of all the guilt that Fyodor experienced and wrote about . Could be ptsd and survivor guilt. Religion invoked guilt. Feeling like a failure because he didn't want a normal job but was driven to be a writer, a literate person could do well at being a clerk in that time

maybe we had to surmise it all . Over all I found the series very unsettling.

I think many sets/shots are reproductions on screen of famous paintings like these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peredvizhniki and of course the most famous painting is reproduced too
