Kyiv Day and Night (Ukrainian: Київ вдень та вночі, Kyyiv vdenʹ ta vnochi) is a Ukrainian reality television series based on the 2011 German series Berlin – Tag & Nacht. The initial principal cast consisted of Oksana Avram, Bohdan Sheludiak, Karina Havryliuk, Oleksandr Ozolin and Albina Pererva, until the former four actors departed in 2017. The show was rebooted on August 28, 2018, for its fifth season. In 2018, Alina London, Anastasiia Durkot, Maksym Sosnovskyi, Yaroslava Zhytomirska, Semen Tereshchenko, and Polina Kovalevska joined the cast. In addition, Albina Pererva, Oleksandr Voronyi (as Oleksandr Volodymyrovych), Pavlo Serhiienko and Nazar Kukharenko took on the same role as with past seasons. It was filmed in Kyiv and broadcast on Novyi Kanal from March 8, 2016, to January 8, 2019.

In Kyiv Day and Night, a group of young friends rent an apartment in Quartero, which is situated in Kyiv's hub. These group tempt to commit unfaithful relationships, typically engaged in extramarital or adulterous activities, betraying their lovers, results in perpetual turmoil and mess. Nevertheless, most critics saw the notion to promote promiscuity as something very controversial.[4] The synopsis is frequently summarized the youth "want to conquer Kyiv". Kyiv Day and Night is strongly censored for having sexually aggressive content, via using nudity, offensive words and unsimulated sex, though those elements were concealed by fog and bleeps over the mouth.[5][6][7] In the fall of 2018, Novyi Kanal decided to stop broadcasting the series, and it was cancelled in 2019 during the fifth season.[8] The series used bilingual versions; the first four seasons were Russian but it was replaced with native language Ukrainian for the fifth season.

Kyiv Day and Night received negative reception from both critics and aggregate websites for its depiction of primarily sexually violent scenes and debauchery, making it least rated television show. In contrast, few critics praised the series for their depiction of amateur actors and describing it "friendly show". The director of the four seasons Kseniia Buhrimova expressed her approval stating "Our heroes are not stars, they are the guys from the next doorway, who prove: no matter what trouble happens to you, you are not alone. There is always someone who can help and support. They have become onscreen friends for millions of viewers."[9] According to the channel's head of press service, Svitlana Tsybanova said they were working to broadcast 7 I Roses on behalf of a similar reality television series.[10]

Development

[edit]

Setting, production and premise

[edit]

The series is set in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.[11] Inspired by its adaptation Berlin — Tag & Nacht, the focal setting is set in an apartment located in Kyiv's hub (specifically called Quartero), which the characters must rent on the 24th floor a top floor of apartment. The director chose it as an ideal place for recreation and aesthetic use. In Quartero, most characters are associated as resident. This technique appeals by making them socially bonded friends. The series is to some extent ruled by screenplay; performers expected to act using improvisation. Kyiv Day and Night somewhat said to be reminiscent of the Russian television show Dom-2, despite Dom-2 being quietly different in terms of sexuality and taboo subjects. Unlike any standard reality shows, the series improvised with interview session, a portion of which characters have been presented for interview after scene in the same environment.[12]

The filming production began in August 2015.[7]

I think our viewers felt that the stories of the guys came to a logical end. There were a lot of comments: they say, what else? Well, what else could happen to these guys? We love all our heroes who have been with us all these four seasons. They managed to become related and become a family, to feel like parents of the guys. But, probably, in all families there comes a period when children need to be released into free swimming, so that they become better, reach new heights in their lives. The guys grew up and clearly understood what they want from life. And I really hope that at least a tiny percentage of this is the merit of Kyiv Day and Night.[13]
