Deca zla

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.

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.

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.

A very good choice of actors who are experienced and have a long career. The acting is excellent. The actors did well in their roles. The story is very creepy and on the other hand very interesting. The series also featured the song which was a Balkan hit many years ago, and is played every time there are murders, which makes the song even more creepy. Each subsequent episode makes you want to watch the series more and more. The main character himself is a lawyer, which shows that the same job and plot are not boring, but presented in an interesting way. It's worth a look.

The series left a very good impression.

Give yourself chance to be entertained by both medium, because each of them will give you unique perspective and feeling. Book "Deca zla" by Miodrag Majic is complex, multilayered and very fast read, which you will be enjoying it immensely. Also, this was one of the best book adaptation in Serbian cinematography. Perfect choice of actors, locations, tone of the action gave us harmonious story line. Time well spent in a written world as well as visual one. Book "Deca zla " and tv series deserve all accolades that you hear these days from people who were fortunate to read a book and watched tv series to regional tv stations. Delighted!
