Why Santa Barbara? Discussion with the creators of the original series Bridget and Jerome Dobson

Why exactly has Santa Barbara become part of the Russian cultural code, why is it familiar even to those who have not seen a single episode? These and other questions will be discussed by the people without whom this season could not have happened — the creators of the original series Bridget and Jerome Dobson, artist Ragnar Kjartansson and director Asa Helga Hjorleifsdottir.
