Hundehügel

"Hound's Hill" (original title "Wzgórze psów") is an excellent Polish dark drama about some tragic events occurring in the small Polish town Zybork. Watching the trailer may give the impression that it is some kind of mystic dra-ma, but it is not. The drama is about people and how they relate to different events that has occurred in Zybork a long time ago. In the first episode you get to know the different characters which can be a bit complicated and in the last episode everything gets clear. The end is unpredictable.

And please watch this drama in the original language, Polish, with subtitles in English or whatever language you prefer. (I watched it with Swedish subtitles.) Otherwise, you will miss out the excellent acting and the atmosphere in the drama.

Fantastic editing, pacing, tone and writing. If you have enjoyed previously series like The Killing, The Mire, True Detective and Fortitude, you will enjoy this. It has the same kind of mystique about it, it makes you feel like pausing every scene and look for clues - this is what i personally look for is series like these, they envelop you like a cold blanket and you just keep fidgeting and looking for closure.

It builds up real slow, letting you sink and soak it all in, before it gets deep. The handwriting of the visual, audio and writing reminds me of The Mire, also a fantastic and underrated Polish series on Netflix, an undiscovered gem.

You, who you were in charge of this, i salute You + all the actors, animators, colorists and sound designers - Masterful storytelling and excecution, bravo.
