Pewnego razu na krajowej jedynce

If you like dry humor there are some funny moments, but it can't make up for the terribly unlikeable characters. Most of the people you'll be following are consistently annoying, I ended up liking the robber they accidentally switch cars with more than most of the main characters. The concept of the show is good, and again, some of the comedic parts do land, but I nearly stopped watching after only the first episode. The reason I continued was because they're short 30 minutes episodes and I thought maybe the characters would grow on me. By the end of the series I was more than ready for it to be over, however.

1. The dubbing is bad and inconsistent. The emotions needed for the scene are not correctly convened by the 'dubber'.

2. No one is likable or even redeemable. Hard to get engaged with a series when you do not care what happens to any of them.. One of the main characters is so completely unlikable that it makes it hard to watch every time they were in the scene. Each actor is portraying a 'caricature' instead of a character. There are some laughs, but by the time you get to a laugh, you have groaned multiple times.

3. Character development...the series does a one minute introduction to each character and jumps into story. This makes it hard to understand or gauge each person' motivations.

4. The writing is all over the place. There is very little actual conversations with every one quipping one-liners.

5. Tone. The series is not funny enough to be a comedy, too slapstick to be a drama so you are stuck waiting for a laugh, or enduring 'dramatic' moments that do not contain tension.

This was a funny quick binge mini tiny series best watch in its original language, obviously. Never dub people, never dub. The only aspect I didn't like was what they decide to do towards the end. That really ticked me off. I mean who does that??? That act nearly made me hate the show as a whole because it made me feel like it was all for nothing and my time was wasted. But it's too funny and has great kill scenarios to get too pissy over. Also that kid needs a good wack upside the head!

Give it a watch, not dubbed, and prepare to laugh and be shocked. I personally think it could of used a tad more goofiness and more raunchiness.

MAIN

First off: The English language closed captioning is both terrible and inconsistent. The story itself is inconsistent as it might be a drama or maybe a comedy, there are elements of both; though with the bad acting, captioning and pacing it's hard to tell for sure in what direction the director was headed.

The characters are all screw-ups and none of them is even remotely likeable. As far as personality types they cover the entire spectrum.

Both my wife and myself are not sure just how, in this modern day and age, it could even be possible to mistake one's own automobile for that of another's; let alone access it with the wrong key fob.

Great show through and through.

For one, all the technical elements are pretty spot on. Each shot is colorful and special, conveying an interesting and consistent visual narrative. Although I should mention that there's some weird editing. (especially in ep5) The characters are fun, nuanced, and sympathetic (besides klara, klara sucks) and the acting is great.

The story is fun and self contained. I love how they can keep the entire story in pretty much one day. The comedy is on point and the twists/drama almost better.

Big shoutout to Michal Sikorskis character, Wojtek, who provides a soft, weird, funny character evoking his signature style much like his role as Jakub in 1670.

Great show, don't watch the dub.
