Selo gori, a baba se ceslja

This show changed me to my core. Comedy masterpiece. My favorite character is definitely Radasin, but I think that Zota is also underrated, regardless of his short screen time, but I don't want to spoil the show. Characters in this show have depth, emotions and feel very real, like people you know in your life. Best part is when Radasin is staring at ass of Zota's sister in law, and his casket falls off the tractor. Truly a cinematic masterpiece. Yes, people say Sopranos and Breaking Bad are best shows they have ever watched, but this hidden gem of Serbian cinematography is right here, waiting to be discovered and appreciated. I am working two jobs to support my kids and after work I watch this show to have some me time. I don't know where I would be without this show. I want my kids to learn something from this show, so they can become the best version of themselves, like Radasin, when he threw dynamite at the IRS. Amazing watch, 10/10.

Selo Gori a Baba Se Ceslja is an excellent show i live in Australia and first watched this show in 2008 i went on holiday in late 2008 and still regularly watch it on the internet. The main thing that make this show great is that it relates to the common person in Serbia, everyone who has ever live in the Selo (small town) can identify themselves with at least one character, and i shouldn't by any means forget the brilliant humor that this show brings out a laugh out comedy at some points yet a dramatic and tearful drama at certain points, a brilliant show and if your Serbian or not it can definitely be enjoyed by all, give it a watch and decide for yourselves for me it's terrific.

I must agree on reviews that this is really one of the best shows in Serbia! So wonderfully put together with such attention to all of the details from Serbian culture and customs. Lots of humor, fantastic actors and above all story that makes you eager to see next episode and follow the lives of Radasin (Rados Bajic) and his family and friends. Rados Bajic did such a great job in writing, directing and acting in this legendary TV show!!

This show is the great saga about Serbian rural and not only rural characters. Each person is a little bit the representative of one type of the way of living and thinking in Serbia these days , years and decades. The contrast between family past, social tradition, history, economic and political boundaries on one side and human's unlimited wishes to have the maximum of the life trying, often unsuccessfully, to overcome such boundaries, reshape each character and gives to the show a lot of humor mixed with the inevitable compassion for human's tragic weakness...

Selo gori, a baba se ceslja has some great performances - Manda, Dragan, and others truly shine and give life to the story. But the problem lies in Rados Bajic's outdated narrative. He plays a "charming womanizer," constantly cheating on his wife, and the show treats it as something funny or acceptable. That might have worked decades ago, but today it feels shallow and embarrassing. It also gives a misleading example to men, implying that such behavior is acceptable, which clearly doesn't hold in modern society. Instead of showing real rural life and honest human struggles, the series turns into self-promotion and old-fashioned male vanity. It could have been a beautiful, heartfelt story - but it got lost in its own clichés.
