"The Others walk the streets of Moscow, split into the Night Watch, those of the light who watch over the actions of the dark, and the Night Watch, who do the opposite, in the effort to maintain the balance between good and evil. This follows Anton, who stumbles across Svetlana and Egor, both unaligned humans who have become embroiled in events that threaten the whole city and the truce that exists between the light and the dark. <br/><br/>I <3 me some urban fantasy; I also have the movie ordered through Netflix, but something in this just didn’t click for me, and I really don’t know why. Enjoyable, but I found myself skimming the third part. Not sure I’ll be continuing. (Also counts for Urban Fantasy, Adapted to the Screen)<br/>"
