S.E.R.E.G.

Once again, a very bad film was made with a lot of money. A film with underdeveloped characters and a silly plot. It has nothing to do with reality. You feel embarrassed when you watch it. You can't decide whether the creators of this film were serious or if it's all just irony. If they were serious, then there's a serious problem. If they intended to make people want to join the army with this film, they missed the mark completely. Do the creators really think that someone who has never wanted to be a soldier would wake up one morning and decide to enlist? This only happens in an alternate reality, which could only exist in the mind of a screenwriter who has never stepped out of their elite residential area and has no clue about reality.

This series had me glued to the screen. It was refreshing for me to watch something with a different style after so many increasingly cheesy American superhero films and other weak, clichéd productions. Sure, the story isn't entirely original, but it's exciting, engaging, and gives a glimpse into local - Hungarian - circumstances. It's not flawless, of course, but I found it very enjoyable.

Several characters are well-developed, there are some good jokes, and it keeps you curious about how the story will unfold. It even feels like the directors paid attention to certain details. I'm not trying to overly praise the series - there are definitely one or two weak points - but overall, the result is positive.

It doesn't pretend to be more than it is, and that's perfectly fine - it's not Black Hawk Down, and it doesn't need to be. Obviously, it can't compete with big Hollywood productions, but I don't think it's trying to, either. It's definitely worth watching, and there's no need to be swayed by all the one-star reviews - which are likely a bit politically motivated anyway.

I managed to grind it through, which means something. Because it's the first Netflix style Hungarian series, I was interested.

At times it drags on a little slow especially when it is a military action. But there are enough classic series elements and turning points to keep up interest.

Yes, I agree it was too expensive when Hungary has crumbling hospitals and railway lines etc. But the film wisely avoids the political angle. I think the director was good, though dialogues can be a bit stilted. So... all in all it is watchable, and maybe it is not according to the creator's intention, but it reveals a lot about HU culture inadvertently.

We are slowly the last country in Europe in all indicators. In such circumstances, it is gratifying that there is at least enough money for such a work. After all, "kaloda" (stocks) and "deres" (hoary) are no longer applicable, prisoners of war and recalcitrant soldiers can at least be punished by watching this series.

After watching the first episode, I went back to evaluate the series "In Angyalborben" and raised the 4 stars I gave earlier to 6 stars.

I watched it at all because of Iván Kamarás, it was a shame.

However, I will look into each episode later, and if by some miracle I experience improvements, then I promise to come back and correct my review.

I spent 7 years in the army .I spent those years in the quick reaction force, that is the second most well equipped branch from the entire army .And i can definitely tell you that everything you see here doesn't match reality . The government and the army is desperate because they suffer all time low enrolling numbers and they are unable to keep the remaining soldiers. The truth about the army is that the leadership is rubbish , communist , coward, and totally unfit to lead. And the highest ranks of leadership posts are ruled by nepotism. This leadership chain makes the army unable to work effectively and keep the soldiers in its ranks. There are more leaders in the Hungarian army than effective soldiers , with this i mean that for every combatant soldier are (at least) two leaders lieutenant and above . They dont respect your personal life , your personal problems , your free time. They treat you like a subhuman . The payment is hilarious , except from lieutenant and above were it is unreasonable high.

In conclusion this propaganda show is more fantasy than reality .
