Excellent series, I really enjoyed watching it. The plot is gripping from the start and keeps you engaged throughout, right up to the unexpected twist at the end. It manages to perfectly combine genres, with elements of both WW11 and gangster-type series. Historical references seem to be accurate.

Great acting by all involved, with particularly memorable performances by Michal Zurawski (Jakub Szapiro), Magdalena Boczarska (Ryfka Kij) and Borys Szyc, who is particularly sinister in his role as Janusz Radziwilek ("The Doctor").

Visuals are well done throughout, in particular some of the interior sets.

This is hands down the best European series of 2020/21, full credit to director Jan P. Matuszynski for creating a masterpiece. You don't need to understand Polish to enjoy it (I don't). English subtitles are available. Make the effort, it will not disappoint.

I would have enjoyed a second season but this seems unlikey as the plot reached a natural conclusion. As it stands, it is complete.
