La banda del guante verde

Yes, it has prominent comedic elements and is certainly what might be called a 'light' drama, but the character portrayal of the three lead women is excellent, a textbook example of 'acting' at its best and you should watch this just to see how three actresses can truly inhabit and project a character.

But what makes the viewer support these criminals? It is their innate goodness and righting of wrongs against some of the most vulnerable members of every society in the world... the old and infirm.

This is a TV series with a lot of heart and I watched it in two sittings. Definately a full-throated recommendation from me if you fancy trying quality, light European television.

Honestly, I think it's one of the best among current Polish comedy shows. Fresh ideas, fun stories (crime stories!), wonderfully lovable characters. It's original they decided to focus on older people and made them witty, interesting and cool. The acting is superb too (for those unfamiliar with Polish actors, there are some VERY well-known people in this one) and overall message is heartwarming. Even if it's not your typical type of show, give it a try. You may be very pleasantly surprised. Both season 1 and season 2 keep the same message and the same fun. Episodes are short and engage the viewer nicely. Finally we have a show that features older generation in a cool way.

I'm the first review! I use to love foreign films but as of late they've gotten as bad as US , UK, etc. This was a refreshing, cute, funny , light hearted serie. I quite liked all the female leads( I'm not really familiar with Polish films or movies but I thought it was done well and a decent watch for the evening. I also watched the stranger( another new Netflix release) but enjoyed this more. It wasn't hilarious but was funny enough and cute ( my god still have over 100 characters)!!! But I would recommend to anyone who likes a decent funny serie with a bit of thrilling elements thrown in. Ok.

It's quite good! English dubbing and subtitles provided, as the original was in polish. These ladies were pulling heist jobs together, but when one of them shows a very specific tattoo during a robbery, they go into hiding. Into a nursing home. But they discover more criminals at the nursing home, doing even worse things. Can they put a stop to the crooks at the home before they are discovered themselves? It's silly and fun. The fact that some of them are on the older side, but can still jump around the rooftops makes for an adventure. The english translation isn't always quite right, but the voice tones and rhythms are really great! So often, the english dubbing is contrived or ridiculous, but not here. It's a serious caper, told tongue in cheek, and it all works. Really fun. Currently on the netflix. One season so far.

I absolutely loved this Polish comedy about three Robin Hood style elder ladies hiding in elderly people house from police. A charming story reminds us that elderly people can be witty, attractive, very pleasant and inventive and it's great to show that elderly actors are as beautiful as young ones.

A good length of eight episodes, story not too long, not too short. Lovely actresses playing three main roles and a very nice cast of elderly Polish actors. Superb plot with many turns and twists, and the very ending with several cliffhangers is a good promise of another season of well written second part of this charming story.
