Deca zla

Finally, we have a TV show that does not promise us TO BE CONTINUED in order to earn more profit. A faithfully conveyed story without succumbing to trends and viewers in order to pass the time.

We have a story about tragedy and violence without faithfully depicting violence in detail, which has not been seen in our country for a long time. Does the fact that you only have a few seconds of sex in 10 episodes of the series tell you enough about the emphasis on the story and atmosphere from the book?

Great actors!

I saw what I expected.

It was worth the sleepless night! Recommendation is Do not start watching if you are not ready to take your time because you will be dragged away and you will not be able to press STOP.

In this day and age where emphasis is placed on flashy images and other visual effects, this series brings a breath of fresh air by actually focusing on the story and acting - I was hooked from the get go. Same feeling I got when watching some of the other series on HBO, like "The night of" or "Mare from Easttown". Everything from the storyline to the actors and down to the title itself, just fits. The actors in particular are very good, and to me no one really stands out but they all mesh into one great performance.

I sincerely hope it becomes a success and the writer's other books get a chance to play out on screen.

Great job.

I have not the the book the Series is based on, but as I watched "Senke nad Balkanom" some time ago and I really enjoyed, I decided to delve into modern Serbian society as well. The synopsis sounded promising and I really was unaware who the killer was, the events unraveled and the title revealed more meaning - so I began to have my doubts... True, there was a related twist in the final episode, but the explanation of the past and the closure events were a bit topsy-turvy, including how some high officials were brought into justice.

The cast was mainly unknown to me, with the exemption of Radovan Vujovic (as Nikola Bobic) whom I also remember from the series mentioned in the beginning. At first, he seemed to become the glue of all the web but then other cast and storylines pushed him into the background - the motives of which remain unclear to me.

Thus, not a bad creation, but probably not the one for the first acquaintance with Serbian cinema, particularly regarding similar topics.

Suspenseful, emotional, yet doesn't lack funny moments.

The storyline unfolds at a somewhat slow pace, yet manages to captivate the audience's attention. What sets "Deca Zla" apart is its deliberate avoidance of explicit sex scenes and the absence of gratuitous violence - a refreshing departure from the prevalent trend in contemporary Serbian cinema, which often leans heavily on showcasing excessive bloodshed and nudity.

A significant flaw lies in the predictability - by the 7th episode, I accurately predicted almost every twist and turn.

Radovan Vujovic delivers an outstanding performance. Jana Milosavljevic is impressive, flawlessly sheds her Eastern European accent. Her performances in this series is truly noteworthy. Nikola Kojo, as expected, delivers a consistently strong performance. Ana Franic, in her limited role, shines brilliantly. Mihailo Laptosevic, who takes on the role of the antique dealer, might have a limited time on screen but his performance exudes authenticity, warmth, and brilliance. Emina Muftic, portraying Munevera, is truly enchanting.

On the other side, Anica Dobra is a major disappointment. Jovana Stojiljkovic seems to fall into the trap of consistently displaying the same facial expressions and diction, as if she is perpetually playing the same character, regardless of the role. And does she really need to be featured in a sex scene in every film or show she appears in? Milica Janevski is good, but sometimes overacting. Slaven Doslo - his acting skills seem ... lacking.

The series is great, keeps the attention, the plot is excellent and the production is at an excellent level.

Good choice of cast, plot is phenomenal, realistic and good.

The episodes are good, it's just the right length and rarely a good series for our spaces.

I'm sorry there won't be another season, but maybe the story will continue.

The series can be watched in one breath, there are some scary scenes.

A series that leaves you breathless and has a very good plot flow. The actress who plays Anna could have done everything a little more emotionally, but all in all it's okay.

I certainly do not regret the time spent watching the series.
