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.
