Sedem Chasa Razlika

Sedem chasa razlika (Bulgarian: Седем часа разлика, "Seven hours difference", though "Seven timezones away" or something would be more appropriate) is a Bulgarian series that started in late 2011.

This show provides examples of:

 * Added Alliterative Appeal: Mihail 'Miloto' Mihailov. See Fluffy the Terrible below for explanation about his nickname.
 * Bald of Awesome / Bald of Evil: Miloto. Well, awesome or evil?
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Tania Stoeva.
 * Fluffy the Terrible: Mihail 'Miloto' Mihailov again. A crime boss with a nickname that means "The Darling".
 * The Mafiya: Crime bosses, a Bulgarian (Miloto) as well as a Russian (Rasputin), are among the main cast. With their bodyguards and henchmen and all.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Mihail 'Miloto' Mihailov
 * Mama Bear: Both Tania Stoeva and Svetlana Stefanakova qualify.
 * Manipulative Bitch: Tania Stoeva.
 * Murder the Hypotenuse: Back in 1993, Tania's boyfriend  Pavel Stankov miraculously survived an attempt on his life by Miloto. Of course the crime boss made it look like a car accident in a snow storm.
 * One Degree of Separation: A few of the more enigmatic characters connect everybody else:
 * Kiril Kotzev: Colleague of General Luka Karlov during his secret agent career; lover of his daughter Svetlana Stefanakova; former trainer, longtime friend and occasional business partner to Miloto and Tania Stoeva; acquaintance of Pavel Stankov/Paul Stankoff (ex-boyfriend of Tanya Stoeva and biological father of her daughter).
 * Vasil Nikolov and Luka Karlov have some rather complex history together: 20 years ago General (then Lieutenant) Karlov put him into prison for illegal emigration attempt; said lieutenant also took $10000 from Vasil's girlfriend Agurig in order to release her; in prison Vasil befriends the elderly Teodor Stefanakov and after being released lives with the family of his son Stefan and grandson Teo; Teo's other (maternal) grandfather is none other than the aforementioned Luka Karlov.
 * Rape As Drama: And how.
 * Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil:
