S.E.R.E.G.

It's not an American production, but they handled many aspects quite well, especially considering the limitations they had. There are plenty of big-budget movies and TV shows where the 'foreign' locations were created with much cheaper, often looking far less realistic than in this production. The story may follow some familiar clichés. Despite having a significantly smaller budget, they made the most of what they had. In fact, the entire 6-episode series cost far less than a single episode of SEAL Team. Obviously, recruitment goals also play a role in the film, but the same element is present in many other productions as well.

We are slowly the last country in Europe in all indicators. In such circumstances, it is gratifying that there is at least enough money for such a work. After all, "kaloda" (stocks) and "deres" (hoary) are no longer applicable, prisoners of war and recalcitrant soldiers can at least be punished by watching this series.

After watching the first episode, I went back to evaluate the series "In Angyalborben" and raised the 4 stars I gave earlier to 6 stars.

I watched it at all because of Iván Kamarás, it was a shame.

However, I will look into each episode later, and if by some miracle I experience improvements, then I promise to come back and correct my review.

I have never seen such a series of dung piles in my life. Terrible acting, story management that is far removed from reality. Editing and editing are, of course, below criticism.

Every sentence and story is completely HUMILIATING to Hungarian soldiers, police officers and everyone who professionally supports the work of law enforcement agencies. All former and current servicemen look at him with shame.

The only good thing about it (hence the 1 star) is that it hasn't been translated into a foreign language yet... The acting is surprisingly weak, as if the actors are also bored and suffering from the script's hurtful clichés. The action scenes resemble the faded explosion effects of a theater prop warehouse, with completely uncredited and ridiculous attempts. Pathetic.

This series had me glued to the screen. It was refreshing for me to watch something with a different style after so many increasingly cheesy American superhero films and other weak, clichéd productions. Sure, the story isn't entirely original, but it's exciting, engaging, and gives a glimpse into local - Hungarian - circumstances. It's not flawless, of course, but I found it very enjoyable.

Several characters are well-developed, there are some good jokes, and it keeps you curious about how the story will unfold. It even feels like the directors paid attention to certain details. I'm not trying to overly praise the series - there are definitely one or two weak points - but overall, the result is positive.

It doesn't pretend to be more than it is, and that's perfectly fine - it's not Black Hawk Down, and it doesn't need to be. Obviously, it can't compete with big Hollywood productions, but I don't think it's trying to, either. It's definitely worth watching, and there's no need to be swayed by all the one-star reviews - which are likely a bit politically motivated anyway.

Decent storytelling coupled with mediocre acting. As you get more and more into it, you will eventually forget about the acting and get completely immersed in the story. It doesn't necessarily have much depth to it, so you shouldn't expect some life changing lesson in there, but as long as you take it lightly, this serie will keep you engaged and entertained from the beginning till the end.

Now I also understand that most people look at the serie through the lense of contemporary Hungarian politics, which is such a shame, because it takes away the enjoyment of the story. It's worth to give it a chance with an open mind, and just enjoy the story for what it is: casual entertainment.
