Series overview

Setting

The Motherland Monument is the most featured monument in the series

The series settled in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv,[8] where the camera angles show the aspects of crowds, metropolitan areas of the city in either aerial or ground view. The series director Ksenia Bugrimova said that he opted the series to film in Kyiv because the idea originated by consolidating characters from different regions to Kyiv and demonstrates everyday lifestyle of Ukrainian people. Bugrimova also maintains the casts' orthonym usage in character while the remaining cast members prefer to use only alternative character name. The filming production began in August 2015.[9]

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 Kiev Day and Night.[10]
