A mediocre series with moments of brilliance, thanks to standout performances from Sovagovic and Kojadinovic. Sadly, Rade Serbedzija doesn't contribute to these highlights, delivering a performance that feels both bland and overly theatrical-a common issue in his work. Serbedzija often plays characters as extensions of his own personality, which overshadows the depth and nuance required for the role. In this series, his portrayal of Ivica Krcmanovic feels shallow and misses the character's growth as depicted in Ante Kovacic's novel. While the novel is a cornerstone of Croatian literature, this adaptation fails to live up to its source material, remaining underwhelming overall.

This is a mediocre TV series based on an excellent novel written in 1888 by the Croatian 19th-century writer Ante Kovacic. Whereas the novel is abundant with character portrayals, suspension, and landscapes descriptions, the TV series offers a row of boring sequences with poor acting, bad settings, and leaves nothing to hope for in terms discovering the psychological portraits of characters. In Kovacic' book, Laura is a mad, evil, but in the same time a beautiful lady, and her character has a certain development through the novel. None of these features can be vaguely recognized in the Ljubica Jovic' act. The setting is absolutely horrible, all the scenes seem to have been situated in a poorly equipped studio, and you can barely tell if the scene takes place in a peasant's house, a city house or a local tavern. The excruciatingly boring is the wedding scene, where the folk singing and dancing lasts too long, diminishing the very few moments of urbanity throughout the series.
