I don't know how this series will go on, but the first episode doesn't promise very much. Everything is slowed down, the dialogues are unconvincing, the actors are both good and not so good, but the scenography bothers me the most because everything seems like a play in theatrical setting. In any case, one should wait to see more episodes before passing judgements, right?

29.03.2021 Unfortunately, everything seems to be moving towards a bad result. Each new episode seems even less interesting, the acting is artificial, the dialogues are like a recital performance, the scenography is strikingly bad (especially scenes 'in the snow' in the third episode, as if they were filmed for a children's show!). I'm so disappointed!

So poorly directed and acted.

Since book come out i wanted to read it, then after i didn't manage to get my hands on book i saw that there is series made by book. So knowing that Draskovic book is good and that whole that story about first state of Yugoslavia must be interesting and good, i was totaly dissapointed after i watched few episodes of it. It's so boring, acting is so amateur, there is no contact between actors they r all so empty, i doubt it was idea to do it like that.

One aweful thing is when King and other Serbian actors speak on foreign language it's like robots , lilke they are reading it from "idiot", like kid in 1st grade word by word so poor.

All in all i quit after 8eps, couldnt stand it anymore,

i think book by Draskovic is only solution so far, and this great story should be given to some serious director to do a movie or a series that will be worth watching,

After more than a year of work on this series, the final outcome appears to be a history lesson with drawn out dialogues. Most actors appear to be unconvincing in their roles so far, and do not help out in making the series interesting. I doubt the other episodes will be any better.

The ratings don't do justice to this series. While I personally expected more from the acclaimed director Sotra - one cannot under-appreciate the historical weight of this drama. Admittedly, production and acting are average - but story itself, untold until now, and integration of never before seen original footages with the screenplay - on its own deserve at least an above average rating. Worth watching!

Sotra is an expert to take a theme that could be filmed as an epic block buster and make a school recital out of it. Some very important parts of Serbian (and Balkan) history are waiting for a more capable film maker.
