Behind the Glass concludes with “mega-ratings” and “social debate.”
Russia’s Behind the Glass ended last weekend, concluding the show where seven people lived in a glass apartment for 34 days. The often sexual and explicit show was not without controversy: the Russian Orthodox Church was among its critics. One poll found that 67 percent of Russians had watched the show at least once, and according to a research firm, the public was split over the content of the show and its appropriateness for TV.
