Crna svadba

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.

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!

Too many dialogues in the script that sound so unnatural to the native Serbian. It feels like somebody took an American low-budget soap horror show and just translated it with zero effort for adaptation. A couple of great actors (like Nikola Kojo) managed to increase the poor quality of their lines to an okay level, but it's still cringe. Standard Serbian sex, nudity and vulgarity are present. A couple of cool technical details, but terrbile CGI (driving scenes are so painful to watch). If you're into religeous, black magic and mystery stuff, you'll be entertained by the plot for a couple of hours, otherwise you'll fall asleep instatly, because the narative is soooo slow.

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.

The intertwining of faith and magic is done masterfully. WOW! This show can go side by side with the most watched foreign series from HBO and Netflix. Crna svadba is the perfect show in every sense.
