The grandmother looked into the room of the grandson and began to be baptized, seeing that he was watching a series about the group “King and Jester”
A new one has recently appeared on the screens. Russian series about the group "King and Jester". This is not just a documentary about the development of musicians. Director Rustam Mosafir and the team created a whole biographical and fantasy project. Judging by the number of views in such a short period of time, they managed to do it with a bang.
Why will the audience like this series so much, what is it about and is it worth watching for those who do not listen to the group “King and Jester”? We will talk about all this in today’s article.
The series about the group "King and Jester" To understand what the series “King and Jester” (“Kish”), you need to say a few words about the group itself. It was founded in 1988 in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad). Its main founder was Mikhail Gorshenev, also known as Gorshok, and the ideological inspirer was Andrei Knyazev, nicknamed Prince.
This group was very different from other musical projects of the time. First, the guys created not just songs, but entire story stories. Secondly, their performances were performances. They changed their clothes and applied makeup on their faces, which suited the style of music. In fact, they became the first representatives of horror punk on the Soviet-Russian stage.
Instagram/@creation_by_gorshenev In general, their work was fantasy, mystical and partly historical. It is not surprising that the collective “King and Jester” had and remains a huge number of fans, and the group itself became a cult for its time. And judging by the excitement that caused the eponymous series, it is waiting for no less success.
The history of the series The group is popular - it is clear. Do I need to create a separate series about her? It's pretty simple. The reputation of the collective "King and Jester" not only does not fade with the years, it becomes wider and wider. The statistics of listening to the songs of this group for the year pushed the employees of the company “Yandex” to create something more and, of course, to make money on it.

The pot was played by Konstantin Plotnikov, and Prince by Vlad Konoplev. These are young promising actors who fit perfectly into the era of Soviet punk.
The series itself is a complete story about the creation and existence of the group. However, it does not look like a documentary. This is a biographical-fantasy project, in which the film adaptations of those songs of Kisha are intertwined. Thanks to him, all the heroes of Knyazev (he created them once) finally came to life on the screen.
Instagram / @creation_by_gorshenev We won’t cheat: it will be difficult to watch this series out of context. First, the creators do not follow the chronology in the development of the band itself. If you punk, it's full! Secondly, it is difficult to perceive fantasy storylines without knowing the lyrics.
So to call this series family language does not turn. It has a lot of vulgarism, wild and sometimes even disgusting moments. However, this did not stop the project from blowing up the Internet. According to the statistics of the site “Kinopoisk”, only in the first 6 days after the release, the views of the series exceeded 1.3 million.
Instagram / @creation_by_gorshenev Unheard of success has allowed the series to take a leading position in many categories. So, for example, it became the most successful release in the history of Kinopoisk and took first place in the list of the best biographical projects of 2023.
The revival of the musical group On the series alone, the company "Yandex" did not stop. For example, she released a collection of advertising and souvenir products (merch) for “King and Jester”. Also on the Internet there were clips of the musical group processed using neural networks. This is the work of Yandex Music.
March 2, 2023 in the Moscow center of contemporary art "Winzavod" opened the exhibition "Punk culture". The King and the Jester. The exhibits are stage outfits of musicians, manuscripts, drawings and fragments of the scenery of the series.
Instagram/@creation_by_gorshenev We’re not going to advise you on whether to watch the King and the Jester series. However, if you want to distract from the harsh gray everyday life, you can safely immerse yourself in the world of horror punk to defuse the situation. If you decide, be sure to share your feedback in the comments!
