Crna svadba

After i watched show and saw its rating, i felt need to jump here and give contribution in correcting it. Clishe after clishe, poor acting, awful dialogues, plot from American B movies, lots of obvious stupidities (agent of "Bezbednost" for example), needles sex scenes, and so much more. Good first three episodes, good overall idea, great opening titles, good cinematography, great music and (occasionally) directing. But not enough for 8.

Right, because every tradition older and other than Christianity is 'demonic' and 'evil'.

This started off well but quickly spiraled down to yet another uninspired, washed out, seen-a-million-times-before church pamphlet.

Waste of time.

I was waiting for the season to end before I form an opinion.

The main thing I like is the theme. How everything was executed not as much. The thing that upset me the most was - 10 episodes later I still don't know why the show is called Crna svadba, as that ritual doesn't seem to have anything to do with the show (except for the first couple of episodes).

The season finale left us with almost no questions answered. I'm not sure I'm interested in investing myself any more to get them.

Screenplay is all over the place and pretty bad. I find it the weakest link of this show. Dialogue is unnatural, characters are one-dimensional. Main parts of the plot are predictable, which I don't mind when everything else makes sense. The second and third episode felt like fillers, and shouldn't have lasted more than 15 minutes in total (I'm all for giving characters some background and bulding suspense, but that was lacking). Some characters disappear and reappear, and by the time they are back I have no idea who they are.

Mixed feelings about cast as well, some actors were great, some not, some seemed as though they were given terrible directions.

I really wanted to like this, but there's room for a lot of improvement in story-telling.

A lot of scenes that doesn't make sense at all trying so hard to make you wonder. Poor story development after episode one or two (Jumping from old folklore magic, which was interesting, to eternal battle between good and evil forces? Really? Attempting to revive terrible Russian mess 'Night Watch' into tv show?).Horrible acting that even if you replace actors with robots would make it look more realistic.

I had high expectations for this one, but Firefly production once again had proven me wrong.

Friendly note to production crew: please stop producing things like this because it won't work at all. You should maybe stick to social dramas because that's the only thing that could maybe work in Serbian cinematography.

Something great coming from Serbia, a whole new myth to be unpacked: an ancient black magic that is not voodoo or western christian narrative. This is better, more sinister. I have only seen 3 EP so far, but can't wait for the next one. Storylines, separated by decades, characters, eary atmosphere and Serbian dark humor really make a gem out of this show. Makers of Crna svadba (Black Wedding) promise awesome climax. This will be delicious bite for fans of different genres. Watch!
