Year of Culture

2018 · 2 seasons

A breezy, wry workplace comedy that gently skewers bureaucratic arrogance as a pampered official flounders in a dusty academic backwater.

Overview: Negligent official Viktor Mikhailovich Sychev is sent into exile to the Department of Literature at a regional university. There he will have to exchange a cozy leather armchair and a spacious office for a rickety stool and a dusty auditorium. What could be better for an employee of the Ministry of Education than a complete immersion in this very education? The series will show how negligent attitude to one's own duties can turn out for a high-ranking official.
How it feels: Satirical, light, cynical and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Class, power, work, education
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
