Really enjoyed the show, everything was great - acting, directing, dialogue. I often have problems with local TV shows having terrible acting and/or unnatural conversations and character psychology (almost as though they are underestimating viewer standards), so seeing something like this got me very excited.

Episode 8 was by far the best, acting was superb (especially Stojan and young Sonja), my emotional involvement was at its peak.

The only thing I didn't like was the final episode of the season. To me, parts of the plot did not make any sense, and it felt as though the writers knew what they wanted each character to do, but how they got them to those actions is questionable.

Ok, I also don't like that I can no longer listen to Seti se nase ljubavi without crying.

Never seen so many cliches in my life and I've only watched 2 episodes so far. A detective with an unfaithful husband gets transferred to a smaller town to avoid being suspended, her troubled child has nightmares (haven't I seen that one before) and her bosses are giving her hard time by covering up crimes. And of course she meets a cute local guy after only few days. I was hoping for so much more with this show.

Solid first episode which definitely cuts the muster. Good story, acting and photography, perhaps some hiccups with editing, but overall very satisfying experience. The series has a bit of the Scandinavian flair, which is not usually seen on national TV.

In the first few episodes plot is painfully slow and drawn out. Later, story becomes intriguing. Episode 8 is a masterpiece. It is emotional, touching, nostalgic, like a strange, misty dream... an episode you'll be thinking about long after you've watched the series.

Constraint of budget in the production is, unfortunately, apparent and visible (budget-friendly set design and bunch of unknown actors).

Vahid Dzankovic is exceptional! It's been quite a while since an actor has left such a profound impression on me. I hope great future and many high-profile roles are ahead of him. Ivana Vukovic is beautiful, with a captivating screen presence. Marija Petrovic, portraying the character of little Sonja, delivers a truly spectacular performance! Zoltan Devai is brilliant in his miniature! Stefan Vukic and Ivana Jovanovic are delivering fine performances. Natasa (Solak) Tapuskovic, to be frank, left me somewhat disappointed. However, I must add that her character speaks mostly in English, which undoubtedly adds an extra layer of complexity to her role.

This unique series is above all a dystopia, as defined in the Free Dictionary: "Dystopia is realism, at least when it is done well. It depicts the world as it really is, through the refractive prism of extreme metaphor. ... " I really enjoyed watching it, until it left me said and depressed.

There is a nice twist somewhere around the sixth episode.

And nope, this is not a cookie cutter Hollywood cops, good guys and bad guys story where at the end everyone gets what they deserve.

And that's what makes this series so unique.
