Let me start that as a Serb, I really think the show is of great quility. I've been living several years in the West, and have fallen a bit out of touch what's going on back home when it comes to cinema and TV productions. Boy, was this a pleasent surprise. The TV shows (and majority of movies) we've been fed in maybe past 10-20 years, are to be honest,quite cringy. Shalow story lines with stereotipical characters, aimed probably to same audiance at home. However, at least I want to belive, most of us want something more then stupid dialogs, unbelivable characters and low producation standards. This was the main goal of this prodaction team lead by Bjela, to give our audiance something new, this reneasance of TV shows thats happening in the rest of the world. And I am so glad it finally did happen.
This is a historical crime thriller, set in turbolent times between 2 world wars. The show kept my interest through out, especailly as a history nerd I really liked to see the historical characters and events intertwined with the storyline. Of course, there is a lot of artistic freedom, so if you want it accurate - go watch a documentary. There were ocassions where the dialog or story line seemed a tad unrealistic and through me off, also acting by some of the actors was a bit poor. I give it an 8 because I really hope that this is just the beginning of a new wave of high quility Serbian shows. There is definitly room for improvement, as I really want to belive we can paralel whats going in rest of the world, and that this is just a beginning.
Thank you to the whole producation team for giving me new hope that something really good can come out of this region. Maybe soon we will have Serbian show even with Netflix producation ?!
