I tend to be an admirer of Scandinavian and British crime series, but from time to time I would like to widen my horizons and find out what other countries can offer in this field... If real events-characters-history included, it is always a plus. And as I have accustomed to read subtitles, I prefer non-dubbing.
I had read some praising comments on this Series, but I had only very general prior information and no knowledge of Serbian actors at all... But I was able to delve into the events and characters right from the beginning; it was also visible that a lots of skills and funds were spent, and the contrasts of pre-II WW era well captivated. Evidently, there are some controversies and added artistry, but it is no documentary or historical study material, after all.
As for performances, I found them pleasant at least, with some supporting cast slightly excelling the main one (e.g. Marija Bergam as Maja Davidovic, Gordan Kichic as Alimpije Miric - or perhaps their characters were more versatile), and all representatives of different ethnicities spoke in their respective language - also an elevating factor for me.
I liked Season 2 a bit more, although a certain twist with a policeman was a bit too much...? Season 3 is underway and I am looking forward to it and the final episode of Season 2 ended in an intriguing manner.
Anyway, well directed, produced and performed, and the Series could be introduced to many more countries.
