Plot

Detective Lekso Nizharadze comes home from New York City and becomes the work partner ("Naparnik" by Russian slang) of Major Bidzina Tabagari. Two detectives Bidzina Tabagari and Lekso Nizharadze try to investigate murder cases connected to the influential businessmen, politicians and members of national security.

Controversies

Director of TV series, Zaza Urushadze was interviewed by newspaper "All news" in 2013, where he talked about 4th season of series and reasons, why it was banned (Later called "Forbidden season"). According to Urushadze season was "blocked" because of background of "Unofficial version of death of Georgia's Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania". 4th season was aired only in 2013. [1] Lately, Urushadze rejected opportunity to direct 5th season of series and it was directed by Irakli Badurashvili. Prohibition of TV series was commented by several actors, in 2012, Giorgi Kipshidze, who played a role of young detective "Lekso Nizharadze" called it "marasmus", Janri Lolashvili has called it "Detention of film". Nukri Kantaria, who played role of Prime Minister's prototype's husband, who later became a member of Parliament of Georgia, claimed that "country has lived 9 years in a totalitarian regime" and "President Saakashvili was even afraid of movies".
