The Hunt for Salamander (Otdel Izdirvane)

I always enjoy searching streaming channels for international programming. As more and more content from countries other than western English language offerings becomes available, and you don't mind subtitles,one can stumble across some really great series. And this is one of them. Set in Bulgaria and if you know anything about they're history you'd be thinking former soviet bloc, poor,country, how good could this be, e.g. Writing,acting,cinematography,production, etc. And the answer is first rate by any standards. The actors are excellent as is the writing, the story pulls you in and builds to its climax,while not boring you with needless dialog,that some series use to fill out episodes. The intricate plot could easily read like something you would get in a n in depth current news story. This is a really good local production that stands up to anything I've seen in this genre.
