Deca zla

Let me get this straight, I'm not a fan of Serbian cinematography but I do have to say that I love where this is going so I will give it a 7.

We are aware of the fact that currently there is no good actors to chose from. Only acting that I liked were the ones made by Mrs. Jovanovski which portrayed the character called Ana Basta.

About the story: I did not read the book so I can not compare, but I do have a feeling that director did not manage to interpret the thing he wanted because the build up goes really well and you are expecting to be mindblown but all I can say that all of this was already seen. There is no hidden characters as all are shown almost in 1st episode (2nd if you count the girlfriend) And the ending did not seem well, like we should get some message right? I think the message was not received as the side characters which are supposed to represent did not get too much atention as all scenes were made about main actor swallowing pills...

The book is great, the story is phenomenal, but I gave it a bad rating only because of the casting of the actors. The main actor, a lawyer, is not even close to what I imagined when I read it, but he played the role very badly. Unbelievable and it ruined my viewing of the series! Also, some inserted scenes are completely unnecessary, you should have stuck to the book, which I recommend to everyone, if you like excellent thrillers. A little drawn out, a little high scene and it's no wonder that the impression is spoiled!

The production team that worked on this series is well known in Serbia and they have already proven themselves to be incredible masters at destroying most things they can get their hands on. Unfortunately, this, like most things in Serbia, is laced with politics and ignorance!

In this day and age where emphasis is placed on flashy images and other visual effects, this series brings a breath of fresh air by actually focusing on the story and acting - I was hooked from the get go. Same feeling I got when watching some of the other series on HBO, like "The night of" or "Mare from Easttown". Everything from the storyline to the actors and down to the title itself, just fits. The actors in particular are very good, and to me no one really stands out but they all mesh into one great performance.

I sincerely hope it becomes a success and the writer's other books get a chance to play out on screen.

Great job.

Finally, we have a TV show that does not promise us TO BE CONTINUED in order to earn more profit. A faithfully conveyed story without succumbing to trends and viewers in order to pass the time.

We have a story about tragedy and violence without faithfully depicting violence in detail, which has not been seen in our country for a long time. Does the fact that you only have a few seconds of sex in 10 episodes of the series tell you enough about the emphasis on the story and atmosphere from the book?

Great actors!

I saw what I expected.

It was worth the sleepless night! Recommendation is Do not start watching if you are not ready to take your time because you will be dragged away and you will not be able to press STOP.

Give yourself chance to be entertained by both medium, because each of them will give you unique perspective and feeling. Book "Deca zla" by Miodrag Majic is complex, multilayered and very fast read, which you will be enjoying it immensely. Also, this was one of the best book adaptation in Serbian cinematography. Perfect choice of actors, locations, tone of the action gave us harmonious story line. Time well spent in a written world as well as visual one. Book "Deca zla " and tv series deserve all accolades that you hear these days from people who were fortunate to read a book and watched tv series to regional tv stations. Delighted!
