Солдаты the series

It's not the same at all, and it's worse :\

In any case, each season started the same way:
Happy spirits that became grandfathers. A new "batch" of soldiers.

But, really, there's no point in trying to get anything more out of this topic.

The plot is contrived, I agree. But who cares? There's profit, so everything is fine. Am I wrong?
