The viewers gave negative feedback to the productions "Chudiki", "Love to the grave" and "Next will be a new day." Particularly unflattering reviews went to the last of this list. Here much is told about the unpleasant and even dirty aspects of people's lives. But it would be perfectly acceptable if it were done nobly and subtly.

Such a speech, according to many viewers, should not sound in the temple of art.
