Review of Pustina

Pustina (2016)
8/10
Proof that a great miniseries can be made in CZ
14 October 2020
Wasteland proves that even in Czech Republic (though under the HBO label) there can be made a miniseries of international quality. The rest of czech TV production doesn't hold a candle to it.

Visual style and atmosphere inspired by nordic crime shows, great acting, character development, dialogues, pacing, soundtrack, direction... Sure, it also has some drawbacks. For example some sub-plots were unnecessary, the detective storyline could be better and the miniseries sometimes feels a bit too self-aware of its own superiority.

However, nothing can change the fact that Wasteland is one of the best Czech works in a long, long time.
