La banda del guante verde

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.

It's a HOOT! I am like letting out this scream-laughs like some sort of demented bird of prey. It is darkly comedic, quirky, off-beat, original, and this show is having fun. Watch it and just be wildly entertained by the richly dark and dry humor.

These women are bringing spark to the geriatric set. I find it interesting that the same general area of Europe just released the horror movie 'Old People' which deals with the plight of the geriatric set in a totally d different genre. These writers took the same general idea and said "But what if it was FUN?! And what if we helped these people find their agency again in a positive way? What if they went vigilante? But with great fashion sense?

This show is great!

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.

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.

How wonderful to see older people represented as real humans who are smart, funny, infirm, cranky, sexy, sweet and nefarious. Besides great characters and locations, this is a fun mystery show without all the gore and predictability of all the American and British mysteries.

Part heist and part mystery we follow a team of bandits when they are forced to lay low after a high profile robbery. But how can you keep your head down when you find corruption and bad guys all around who need to be taught a lesson??

I haven't seen any Polish television before but will now be on the look out for.

I am VERY glad Netflix renewed for a 2nd season.
