The Method (Russian: Метод) is a 2015 Russian Detective Drama directed by Yuri Bykov, produced by Konstantin Ernst and Alkesandr Tsekalo (who also appears in a bit part) and starring Konstantin Khabensky and Paulina Andreeva.Rodion Meglin is an eccentric police investigator, renowned for three things: his hands-on, borderline brutal, approach to investigation, specialization in Serial Killer cases and solving the unsolvable. When he apprehends a killer of her fellow law school graduate, Yesenya Steklova decides that an internship with Meglin is her best bet to learning the skills she needs to solve the case of her mother's murder which she was a witness to a long time ago.Surprising everyone, the Cowboy Cop agrees. They fight crime as Meglin gradually turns the idealistic Yesenya into a copy of himself by dragging her along into brutal cases, up to and including using her as bait for the Villain of the Week.The creators have waved off any allegations of ripping off Dexter, if anything, it's closer to MPD Psycho in tone and treatment of Gorn.Having won several American awards as Best Foreign Criminal Drama, it, along with several other series from the same producers, may be coming to Netflix in 2017, which was interesting considering that the Russian Duma was debating legislation in 2016 that threatened to make watching Netflix IN Russia impossible. However, as of October 2019, not only is Netflix still available in Russia but Netflix is targeting expansion in Russia.A second season premiered on Russia's Channel One on November 8th, 2020. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Both the Saturday killer and his copycat. Arguing Social Darwinist theories online and coming to morally questionable conclusions is one thing. Going on killing sprees to prove your theories is Dostoyevsky-grade wrong. | |

The Method / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Apparently intentionally invoked. The episodes premiered in pairs of two, and the On the Next spots intermix scenes from the next week's episodes making them appear to be different from what the real order of events will be, thus averting Trailers Always Spoil. They also sometimes show scenes that aren't actually shown in the episode they advertise, though their consequences are. | |

Knight in Sour Armor | |
The Method / int_21f7ff0f | comment |
Knight in Sour Armor: Meglin is apparently type two, a born cynic. Yesenya evolves into type one as Break the Cutie sets in. That said, they both have shades of light. Meglin is excessively gentle and kind with most surviving victims (creating a crazy Mood Whiplash when he first touchingly promises a survivor of one killer's attack to bring her assailant to justice — and then brings him in, blinded and delirious from the pain of it) and a Friend to All Children whenever he's not in Comedic Sociopathy mode. Yesenya stops him from killing a Villain of the Week once (then begs him to let her kill another). | |

Chekhov's Gag: The black pencil Yesenya always uses to tie her hair up and takes crime scene notes with, throwing her hair loose whenever she pulls it out? It's used as a Once an Episode for half the series before she starts stabbing people with it, once as an Improvised Weapon and then as a habit. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
The Method / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: The titular method is pretty simple: Meglin gets in the headspace of the next mentally unhinged person doing nasty things to people in order to either track them to their lair or predict the pattern and prevent the next attack. The catch is that his brain damage makes him hallucinate the killer's Freudian Excuse most of the time. It's made painfully clear that Meglin considers himself no different from those he pursues. It is why he is so torn up about what happened to Olya and so proud-yet-harsh on his "graduates" - he knows they don't kill, but he also knows how easy it is to slip off the wagon. Yesenya's Break the Cutie is also taking her down this road, although she appears more remorseful about it. It's implied that once, so was Meglin. | |

Once an Episode: With variations showcasing the Character Development of the leads. The local cops complain about these Moscow know-it-alls. Meglin's Catchphrase and Sherlock Scan evolves to a point where he's showing off Yesenya's grasp of The Method more than using it himself. Yesenya defending Meglin's actions before The Men in Black or her father. Meglin's hallucinations intervening in the investigation or propelling the story arc of Olya - notably it's always either one or the other, they coincide only once. Yesenya's hair-supporting pencil graduates to When All You Have Is a Hammer… some time after she uses it as an Improvised Weapon. | |

Playing Against Type: Pretty much everyone who isn't a one-off background cop character. The rotund jovial Aleksandr Tsekalo as the killer of Yesenya's classmate in the first episode sets the tone for the entire series. Played surprisingly straight with Igor Savochkin's character, abducting girls to Stockholm Syndrome them into becoming his adopted daughters. His character on Night Watch was similarly aloof and disconnected with reality. | |

Sherlock Scan: Deconstructed. It looks like this to outside observers, but Meglin isn't looking for what's instantly going to solve the case, he's focusing on what doesn't fit at the crime scene. Yesenya has to work against her preconceptions to grasp this idea, but ends up proudly showing off in front of common cops. What they don't realize is that Meglin is a Sink or Swim Mentor, he drills her relentlessly into it. | |

Room Full of Crazy: Multiple instances, from the teacher funneling her hatred for her work into defacing yearbook photos of her students, to the Stalker Shrine one Villain of the Week devotes to Yesenya, to the crochet-doll-filled den of the killer who makes dolls from the clothing of his victims. | |

My Greatest Failure: Meglin is genuinely distraught over the fate of a woman he convicted (and who was institutionalized instead) in one of his first cases. Yesenya ends up meeting her when she lands in the same Bedlam House. See also The Scapegoat below. | |

Idiot Ball: You have the wounded serial killer you are chasing who has already killed the one that shot them cornered and pleasing for help. Why would you ever holster your gun and try to look at their wound without waiting for your backup if you can't see their hands? The Season 2 premiere seems to be built on handing these out to many of the cast members to remind us that they can't catch anyone without Meglin. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Meglin's first appearance demonstrates his cold attitude towards other cops, his capacity for empathizing with both the victim and the killer, and his preference for talking the killer down if the option is available. The second episode demonstrates he's equally willing to brutally and efficiently slaughter them if talking is off the table. | |

How We Got Here: The Framing Device is a debriefing of Yesenya by two Men in Black after her internship is over.

Betty and Veronica: Zig-zagged. The two guys Yesenya has the closest to 'boyfriend' status trade places as her character is warped by Meglin's influence. Zhenya starts out as the Veronica, he's a 'bad boy' womanizer with a drug habit and he's the one who gets her on the thought train of apprenticeship to Meglin in the first place. Later on, he becomes the Betty as the only one she can even talk to outside of work. Sasha starts out as the Betty, being a By-the-Book Cop wannabe and as opposed to Yesenya's apprenticeship like her father is.

I Am Who?/Tomato in the Mirror: The series finale reveals that Olga Berestova was the real name of Yesenya's mother, and she was kept out of jail by her husband's connections while another took the fall, protected by having already been committed to a mental institution. Hence, Yesenya inherited her Insane Equals Violent qualities and that and the fact that Meglin was her mother's killer was why he took her on as an apprentice. | |

Running Gag | |
The Method / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Multiple, mostly in the banter of the leads. Yesenya snarking at Meglin's Catchphrase of "What do you see?". Yesenya joking about Meglin's cactus collection. Grows increasingly darker when she learns its story... And changes the jokes accordingly, to show her Character Development is not taking her to a nice place. Meglin's Bavarian Fire Drill introductions of Yesenya. Meglin being an asshole to someone in clear violation of safety rules, most often a beat cop, in a bout of Comedic Sociopathy. | |

Follow the Leader | |
The Method / int_fc451ba4 | comment |
Follow the Leader: The series has been accused of borrowing from Dexter, even though the only remotely comparable between the two is the notion of a Detective Drama with lots of Gorn. | |
