What are some good Russian series with English subs?

What are some good Russian series with English subs?
Since all the other answers tend to name movies and TV series from either Soviet or 90’s Russia times, I’m going to add something made today:
- “Interns” (Интерны) - kinda like “House M.D.” or “Scrubs” but in Russia, I think they even made an episode, where they had the main character limp and have a cane, which gave a guy staying in the hospital the idea to make “House”. I personally recomend watching till season 4 because it all went downhill from there: bad jokes, unengaging characters etc.
- “Kitchen” (Кухня) - ever wondered how Gordon Ramsay would look like if he was Russia, fat and had a drinking problem? Wonder no more. The show has the same feel as “Interns”.
- “Kikoriki” (Смешарики) - a TV series for kids, very easy to follow, great for a beginner, I think it even has a voice-over English version. I recomend watching up until the point that they went 3D
- I would also recomend watching some Soviet cartoons like “The mystery of the third planet”, or maybe humorous and surreal “Last years’s snow was falling” or “Plasticine crow”
I think this should do it, most of the shows I’ve listed will not only improve your skills but maybe even give you a look at Russian mentality. Enjoy watching and learning!
