2/10 AT MAXIMUM! The only reason I don't rate it 1/10 is because of the great work of Deyan Zhekov who really tried his best and gave his heart to the production. The costumes and music were also good, but the rest...
Most of the actors had no idea what 'acting' means. Most scenes were cringe, a lot of stuff did not make sense, the story is poorly shown, the battles were abysmal. None of the characters had any build-up, things just 'happened'. Btw, no one knows how Botev exactly died, yet Genchev decided to re-write history. Absolutely unacceptable.
You have to forbid this pro-russian proxy Maxim Genchev. It is obvious that he did not learn from the failed production of Levski and yet it was decided it is a good idea to give him another great Bulgarian historical character like Botev who he literally killed as well.
Oh, and by the way, the absolutely WORST actor of them all is... guess what? The director's son - Matey Genchev as Nikola Obretenov. I am speechless.
