Infamy

This was my first time binge-watching a Netflix show, but I had to cut it short as I had to get up for work the next morning. There are just two more episodes left for me to finish. I absolutely adore the main character, the cinematography is exceptional, the soundtrack is on point (I've already started listening to it in my car), the characters are intriguing, and I find it fascinating to get a glimpse into the lives of these communities in my neighboring state. It feels like a relatable experience, growing up in similar panel flat neighborhoods. Yes, I'm loving the show and especially Zofia.

This is a fantastic script. The actors were superb, with Zofia Jastrzebska as the perfect Gita. Every scene in this series moved the story along to different takes than what would usually happen in other shows. Wonderful photography with some really interesting shots. Incredible music, especially all the rap songs. The last rap video was dope! The character depth was exceptional for any type of film or series. Everyone has their own perception of their life. The storytelling didn't throw stones at anyone or maybe everyone. There was nowhere to hide for any character. One of the best series to come along in a long time.

It is a beautiful show. Deep dives into forbidden love emotions, Romani culture, the social gap in the Romani community and the racially hatred divided society in the former socialist-communist European block. Joining Eurpean Union and having access to marijuana did not change the hatred and the fear of challenging the status quo.. The show does create an empathetic perpective to the viewer. Well done to the producers!!

One criticism though, the script could have been better documented: associating Romani with Romania or originating from Romania is another broad biased or incorrect fact which not challenged, not sure why even brought in the script . Roma people are everywhere, speak same language in any country and they suffer the hatred and social injustice just as much in Romania.

It's very good if u don't take it too seriously. Romani culture changed, nowadays no one forces girls to get married. Poles aren't that racist but they wouldn't treat the gypsy girl so special in real life. No one would give an attention to her bad rap. Apart from the fact that the film is terribly exaggerated, I enjoyed it. To be honest i like it more than "Euphoria". 10 points for costumes and traditional music. The film frames are amazing too. It fits good into drama genre. I'm waiting for more with a hope next time polish cinema won't show characters in such a stereotypical way. And I won't have to listen to horrible rap anymore...

What an incredible show. Rarely do we get a series that achieves such balance between wonderful actors, incredible storytelling and phenomenal videography (I mean the lighting in this show alone!). Also throw in incredible sound and music. This series takes us on a journey that dives into the realm of the Romani and Polish people. This series is everything you could want and more - culture, conflict, rap, dogs, powerful matriarchs. We even get a choral version of the Barbie song! Absolutely gripping. No notes whatsoever. I hope people pick up on the show and get to experience it!

I watched it in the original Polish with English subtitles.
