Idz przodem, bracie

I was really attracted by this amazing social thriller, giving so much importance on characters, even supporting ones. Not too easy to follow, to summarize, but really well made, pulled by convincing performances. It so poignant, gripping, violent in the same time. Only the last part of the last episode deceived me, deceived me so much that I prefer forgetting this TV show from Poland. It could have been darker, grittier, instead of this American like style. You know what I am talking about. I hope that the makers of this TV show will give us something more downbeat next time. I don't regret the time I spent on it. No, only the last fifteen minutes are junk.

Ended up binge watching it in 2 days, watched it with subtitles great story, great action.

Appreciated all the cinematography - colour grading down to a tee.

All the tactical kit and gear, oscar with a devil on one shoulder an angel on the other listening to both a different times, a good guy albeit with a bad streak.

You don't quite get the reason why but you figure out his panic attacks are PTSD from his Army days.

Great character relationships, you can follow how everyone knows each other and how it's all intertwined, two mafia families struggling for power after a streak of paranoia sets the fire below them.

There was a lot of promise here. The set up is plausible. The execution was not. The writers required too much suspension of belief to pull this off. Its a shame because most of it wasn't required. They couldn't help but go "Hollywood".

The main protaganists were ok. The acting was there. The on location filming and musical scoring were on point. Another good point was breaking the episodes down into one hour episodes. You are able to digest a lot because of good pacing.

There are some background side stories that are sprinkled in but not enough to bog the main story down. Overall its a good series if you can get past the implausible moments and is well worth a watch.

Just stumbled onto this mini series.

It's Polish and one of the most edge of the seat, nail biting, and gripping programs that I've seen for a long time.

Explosive action that fully fits the narrative perfectly. Excellently acted, directed and scripted.

The storyline is sharp, NO extra long scenes that are superfluous to the story. A little bit of romance to develop the characters, and fighting scenes that are excellently choreographed and perfectly played out.

Worth watching, for those on holidays or for a weekend binge.

Nail biting series that it absolutely worth watching. This Polish cinema at its best, which is going to give competition to the rest. It's hard to beat.

This is the best thing I've watched for years -

The acting, direction, writing , music and pace are all spot on.. There's not a wasted moment and the action scenes are awesome and utterly gripping

But what I really loved (and only the best series do this) is that iit takes you to places, in your mind, that you don't expect to be taken to - it jall ust kind of creeps up on you and without truly knowing why., you know that you are watching something special.

While part of me hopes that there will be a second series, the other part of me is saying, leave it alone, don't ruin things, it's brillant as it is.
