There was a Russian produced TV series shot in Los Angeles in the 1990s co-starring Gary Busey. The name of the series translates rather unoriginally to “Russians in Los Angeles". There’s also a movie whose name translates to “Russian Daughter.” Both featured a mix of English and Russian, and both were great at helping me learn the language when I was in the Peace Corps. However, when at home on the couch after a long day of work, I’m not always in the mood for a language lesson... or to read subtitles.
