Somewhat familiar genre tropes help to get through the first few episodes, while the plot gets going. Unfortunately, the further I went into Topi, the more captivating yet confused everything became.
Some of it feels like allusions to Bulgakov, yet the explicit scenes I still found over the top and not adding much to the story.
The ending left most of the storylines hanging, which was sadly quite predictable (or predetermined, if you will).
Don't regret the time spent watching this, mostly due to compelling performances from the cast (Max, Sonya and the police captain, to name a few) and a great setting.
