Subterran

Not bad actually. Psycho girl was really good. The acting I mean. Same with Ana Ularu, apart from a couple of scenes she was believable. Oase is good too. I don't know any of these actors apart from Ana Ularu, Adriana Trandafir, Florin Piersic and Velea. The gang of gangsters was relatively believable. I liked seeing the sights from Bucharest. The grand tasteless mansions surrounded by concrete and empty land. Very Romanian sadly. Dirty money and no class. So they got that right. Some of the actors were flat in some of the scenes. Surprisingly, Adriana Trandafir was one of them. The writers kept me entertained, I actually binged this, which is rare for me to do. I really appreciated the short miniseries format and I truly hope they do not continue it. Although they left it a little muddled, so I guess they want to leave it open somewhat just for that. Again, it wouldn't work without psycho girl, she pretty much drives at least half the show.

Would not have watched it if it weren't a Romanian series, it's the first one I am watching, the others have had a pretty bad reputation.

I thought the songs on the soundtrack fit the mood. I'm sure Romanians will grumble about the manele and trap. I would too, but it fits. It really does. I don't like it but this is the reality of these people.

When it comes to Romanian action series, many people tend to compare it to Umbre. It's a mini-series with a decent storyline. You can clearly see the Netflix influence compared to what Romanian audiences are accustomed to in TV shows. Yes, it's not a masterpiece, but I don't think that was the goal. I could mention things I didn't like, but that would involve giving spoilers, which isn't necessary. In the end, Florin Piersic Jr. Is undoubtedly the actor who fits his role the best and adds extra value to the mini-series. So, if you have nothing to do on a day, you can give it a chance. Leave your expectations tied to Umbre aside, as it's not exactly the same type of action and doesn't aim to be.

P. S. Merge de plictiseala!

The scene where Mafia boss takes delivery of drungs seemed to be very low budget .. they could have improved that ..

Subteran offers a straightforward and somewhat predictable plot, aiming for broad international appeal. However, this simplicity may leave some viewers wanting more depth. The Romanian cast, though well-known, often seems mismatched with the script, which might have been translated from English, resulting in unnatural dialogue. This detracts from the overall authenticity, especially when characters speak in ways that don't fit their roles. While the intent to attract international platforms like Netflix is clear, the execution falls a bit short, making it feel somewhat overrated. Nonetheless, it's a step towards increasing Romanian visibility in global media.

I was very curious to see something produced in a country like Romania, where the bloodiest communist dictatorship reigned, the last to fall. What can be seen in this excellent series is that Ceausescu's dictatorship left a huge legacy of corruption and crime. It can be assumed that there is freedom of expression in current Romania, as not only is corruption shown openly but, in a certain sense, it ends up going unharmed. Good actors, very convincing, extremely creative filming make this series something really worth watching. The tension of the narrative is constant from beginning to end. There is room for a second season, as many things require a conclusion. I eagerly hope this second season happens soon.
