High Water

This is one of Netflix's rare masterpieces. Zulewska is particularly brilliant in her role that she plays to perfection... just like the whole casting. This true story is told in a thrilling, moving and stressful way. The fast script keeps us constantly on the alert... and I found no boredom by unnecessary scenes except perhaps during the last episode. In addition, we like to hate some of the characters.

I also loved how the team was able to reproduce authenticity of the time.

Like a book that you can't stop reading... I watched the six episodes back-to-back on a Sunday.

The Director mastered this serie.

First of all I love this genre, I think I watched all kind of disaster movies and I can say this is a good one, of course I am sure a little writers added some drama but it is really tragic situation. I love the characterizations in series also thanks God not too much stupid and unnecessarily long episodes. In the middle of the series I just wondered who will die, who will live. Cinematographicly it is also very nice, I love the scenes and it looks really 1997. I did read the negative comments here but I don't understand actually, this is really good and watchable. I wonder what happened the dog I hope it is ok :) Good and watchable for 2022.

High Water shows the greatest ecological disaster after the Second World War. It's done with great authenticity and the actors delivered great performance. I was especially surprised by the sceneries of the high water situation in the city. You could believe that it has happened just now and there is no way out. It's really amazing to see it.

I find there are not too many series that extends this water catastrophe and the running of each episode is good too. So if you like this genre of movies check it out. If you want to see another top environmental disaster movie then watch the earthquake Hollywood film San Andrea.

Wow, just wow. Got hooked up and binged all episodes in one afternoon. Terrific acting and marvellous shots of a major urban city hit by the flash flood. It has the vibes of "The Last of Us" video game, and the HBO's "Chernobyl" series, showing incompetence of the government in face of a natural disaster.

The cast are fantastic and really makes you care what's about to happen to the characters, especially later as the story develops. The main female character reminds me of Carrie in Homeland, I don't want to spoil why - played by a superb actress that made me weep in key moments.

I watched the original with subtitles but the English dubbing is pretty good also. An Emmy's on a way, well done Netflix, for once.

At the ending credits of the last episode, I just found out that this series based on true story of flood disaster in Poland..

Jasmina Tremer (Agnieszka Zulewska) play a realistic main protagonist who is annoying and hard to sympathize at, but with a brain. She is the intelligent one that surrounded by the rest of the characters from the bureaucrats office who are indecisive or keep making wrong choices. It is a bit ridiculous to see. Did the script intentionally make her stand out? I think the script has a lil tendency to make certain characters look a certain way, especially the governor who suddenly become the hero towards the end.

The dialogue is packed with important details so you need to pay attention to understand the plot.

All in all, the visual of the flood and after the flood is very well executed. It reminds me of my own country who faced flood at the similar scale years ago.
