The Green Glove Gang

This series was a pleasant surprise. I was watching in the original Polish so I could hear the actual actors, but using English subtitles, which I am accustomed to doing even for shows in English--and I had a blast. I'm so tired of the grim and gritty approach, and all the "modern sensibilities" stuffed in. This series was refreshing and never took itself seriously once, that I can remember. So what if it hit some tropes? Even the opening credits are cute and short. The fact that it finishes in a predictable "cliffhanger" that will hopefully lead to a second series, is a positive ending, in my book.

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 quite good! English dubbing and subtitles provided, as the original was in polish. These ladies were pulling heist jobs together, but when one of them shows a very specific tattoo during a robbery, they go into hiding. Into a nursing home. But they discover more criminals at the nursing home, doing even worse things. Can they put a stop to the crooks at the home before they are discovered themselves? It's silly and fun. The fact that some of them are on the older side, but can still jump around the rooftops makes for an adventure. The english translation isn't always quite right, but the voice tones and rhythms are really great! So often, the english dubbing is contrived or ridiculous, but not here. It's a serious caper, told tongue in cheek, and it all works. Really fun. Currently on the netflix. One season so far.

Honestly, I think it's one of the best among current Polish comedy shows. Fresh ideas, fun stories (crime stories!), wonderfully lovable characters. It's original they decided to focus on older people and made them witty, interesting and cool. The acting is superb too (for those unfamiliar with Polish actors, there are some VERY well-known people in this one) and overall message is heartwarming. Even if it's not your typical type of show, give it a try. You may be very pleasantly surprised. Both season 1 and season 2 keep the same message and the same fun. Episodes are short and engage the viewer nicely. Finally we have a show that features older generation in a cool way.

It really doesn't look or sound interesting from the beginning. 8 episodes of 25 minutes or so without the titles and credits. About 10 minutes into it, I was going to turn it off but decided to stick with it. Nonetheless, it pulled me in by the middle of the 2nd episode.

It turns out, the story and characters were captivating. It is an unusual narrative, one that gets your attention slowly.

Three female leads running away from the police due to their latest heist, find succour by enrolling to live in an assisted living community. A tarot card reader who could guess the future, a mischievous and sexy grandma, and a former fighter pilot hide together.

In the end series end, no questions remain left unanswered.
