S.E.R.E.G.

I spent 7 years in the army .I spent those years in the quick reaction force, that is the second most well equipped branch from the entire army .And i can definitely tell you that everything you see here doesn't match reality . The government and the army is desperate because they suffer all time low enrolling numbers and they are unable to keep the remaining soldiers. The truth about the army is that the leadership is rubbish , communist , coward, and totally unfit to lead. And the highest ranks of leadership posts are ruled by nepotism. This leadership chain makes the army unable to work effectively and keep the soldiers in its ranks. There are more leaders in the Hungarian army than effective soldiers , with this i mean that for every combatant soldier are (at least) two leaders lieutenant and above . They dont respect your personal life , your personal problems , your free time. They treat you like a subhuman . The payment is hilarious , except from lieutenant and above were it is unreasonable high.

In conclusion this propaganda show is more fantasy than reality .

I have never seen such a series of dung piles in my life. Terrible acting, story management that is far removed from reality. Editing and editing are, of course, below criticism.

Every sentence and story is completely HUMILIATING to Hungarian soldiers, police officers and everyone who professionally supports the work of law enforcement agencies. All former and current servicemen look at him with shame.

The only good thing about it (hence the 1 star) is that it hasn't been translated into a foreign language yet... The acting is surprisingly weak, as if the actors are also bored and suffering from the script's hurtful clichés. The action scenes resemble the faded explosion effects of a theater prop warehouse, with completely uncredited and ridiculous attempts. Pathetic.

Take a look around the state of hospitals, schools, and other fundamental elements of our society in the country and tell me that this was necessary. We're expected to watch this cinematic flop while the real needs of everyday people go ignored, just because someone in power decided that this chest-pounding "tribute" was worth splurging 865 million forints. And for what? A parade of cardboard characters, hammy acting, and action scenes that seem to be pieced together by a team who might have watched one too many low-budget war flicks and thought they were up to the task.

The film's attempts at grandeur fall flat in every possible way. The "epic" shots are downright laughable, with CGI that would have been outdated even a decade ago, and the story feels like it was written to fit the most sanitized and lifeless military propaganda imaginable. There's no depth, no nuance, no real exploration of what it might mean to serve or sacrifice - just empty, jingoistic one-liners paired with the most cliched plot points you can imagine.

And let's not even start on the pacing, which drags on forever in all the wrong places, leaving even the most action-oriented scenes feeling like a chore. By the time the credits roll, you can't help but feel that this was less a movie and more a poorly-disguised vanity project for the people who greenlit it.

Ultimately, this film is a blaring reminder that we need to start investing public funds in areas that genuinely matter, not on bloated productions that try and fail to dress up national pride as high art. This isn't just a bad movie; it's an insult to everyone whose needs have been left unmet in favor of this charade.

We are slowly the last country in Europe in all indicators. In such circumstances, it is gratifying that there is at least enough money for such a work. After all, "kaloda" (stocks) and "deres" (hoary) are no longer applicable, prisoners of war and recalcitrant soldiers can at least be punished by watching this series.

After watching the first episode, I went back to evaluate the series "In Angyalborben" and raised the 4 stars I gave earlier to 6 stars.

I watched it at all because of Iván Kamarás, it was a shame.

However, I will look into each episode later, and if by some miracle I experience improvements, then I promise to come back and correct my review.

I managed to grind it through, which means something. Because it's the first Netflix style Hungarian series, I was interested.

At times it drags on a little slow especially when it is a military action. But there are enough classic series elements and turning points to keep up interest.

Yes, I agree it was too expensive when Hungary has crumbling hospitals and railway lines etc. But the film wisely avoids the political angle. I think the director was good, though dialogues can be a bit stilted. So... all in all it is watchable, and maybe it is not according to the creator's intention, but it reveals a lot about HU culture inadvertently.
