A Premature Birth at Home - Disappointment, but a Heartwarming Finish

I just binge-watched the new series that dropped on my streaming platform after a long wait, but unfortunately, it left me feeling underwhelmed. The storyline is super simple and boring. It's all about the main character getting entangled with three different men - let's break it down further.

Here are the show's key characteristics:Name: VictimYear: 2026Genre: MelodramaNumber of episodes: 4Runtime: 160 minutesPlot

Olya Dementyeva is a single mom living with her three kids and her husband, Yaroslav. One day, after a long shift, she's found unconscious in a park. The police take on the case, and Andrey Gvoryov, the lead investigator, discovers that the victim is his first love. As the story unfolds, Olya's past comes back to haunt her, and Andrey starts to uncover the dark secrets surrounding her and her ex-husband, Ushakov.

The plot is pretty straightforward, with hardly any twists or turns, which made it a bit dull for me to watch. The storyline is simple and lacks any real depth. I found myself getting bored at times, which is a shame because the premise has some real potential.Olya DementyevaIn the past, she was married to a man who turned out to be toxic and ended up in prison. She has three kids and lives with them and her new partner. One day, after a long shift, she's walking home when she's attacked and loses consciousness. She reports the incident to the police, and Andrey takes on the case. What really bothered me is that she's somehow connected to three different men - it felt like too much. Her character lacks any real depth or interest, which made it hard for me to connect with her.

Andrei GovorovI've got to say, seeing him return to his hometown and take on a case involving a woman who's been attacked was a real eye-opener. Turns out, the victim was his first love. He's clearly still got feelings for her, and he's determined to learn more about her. What he discovers about her past relationship with Ushakov is pretty shocking, and it makes him want to help her out.

UshakovAs it turns out, Ushakov is the ex-husband of the woman in question. She's had a pretty rough time with him, and she's not afraid to speak her mind. After a stint in prison for a violent outburst, Ushakov is released and tries to win her back, but she's not having it.

What's the show about?

I've gotta say, the first love story is a big part of this show. For some people, their first love is a really important thing. When you're in love, you don't even notice anything else - you just want to be with your partner. People will even go to great lengths to stay faithful, even if it means being apart. But sometimes life gets in the way, and you end up separated from the one you love. Trust me, it's not easy. Even years later, the pain of that breakup can still linger.The show also highlights how important it is for kids to have both parents' love and care. When a child loses one of their parents, it can be tough for them to forgive and move on. Even little things like getting gifts from mom and dad on special occasions can make a big difference in a child's life.And let's be real, sometimes life takes us in different directions, but that doesn't mean it's the end. The show shows us that if you truly loved someone, there's always a chance to reconnect and rekindle things. True love can weather any storm, and it's never too late for a second chance.

Some of the other themes you'll see in this show include:First loveSeparation from a loved oneStaying faithful to your partnerLong-distance relationshipsUnexpected reunions years laterParent-child relationshipsRaising a child on your ownVisuals

The show has a great color palette, with lighting that's not too harsh but not too dull either. The setting is a summer backdrop, and the backgrounds are diverse and interesting. It all feels pretty realistic and natural.Music and sound design

The music in the show is pretty chill, with different mellow and intense tracks playing at specific moments to keep the story interesting. They don't distract from the show and aren't too loud.Verdict

The show's pretty emotional towards the end - it's a bit of a rollercoaster, to be honest. I think the storyline's believable, but it's not super engaging, so I found myself getting a bit bored at times. Overall, it's a decent watch, but it could have been better with some more plot twists and character development.Pros: Emotional storylineEvents are pretty believableImportant themesEasy to followCons:

A bit dullLack of plot twistsFinal thoughts

I'd say this show is worth a watch if you're in the mood for something light and emotional. It's not too long, and the themes are pretty relatable. But if you're looking for something with a lot of action or suspense, you might want to look elsewhere. Overall, it's a pretty positive watch, but it could have been better with some more effort put into the plot and character development.
