(D)evil's Throat: Djavolskoto Garlo

ALL of the above . I can understand why one reviewer gave up after episode 5 as I almost did the same but I'm glad that I perservered to the end . Lots of twists and turns and an intriguing plot are somewhat let down by the outrageous overacting of the male lead but somewhat rescued by the female lead and some fine character acting by her supporting cast . The Prosectutor deserves a mention too for a menacing performance as the Patriarch ( would make a good Bond villains) . My rating of 6 is perhaps a little low as it is very close to a 7 but it doesn't ascend to the dizzy heights given by some reviewers , in my humble opinion. Definitely worth the watch if you can last past the first 5 episodes .

If this is what Bulgarian TV is like send us more. This police thriller starts with a body in a lake where it couldn't possibly be and goes on from there.

There are all there character types you'd expect in a former Soviet block police state government trying to deal with 21st Century problems, migration, internet, teenagers demanding freedom, and David Lynch type plot twists and oddball characters thrown in to keep you wanting more.

12 full episodes, and a soundtrack I would sell my mother to get a hold of.

Strong plot with many twists, good cast and great acting! The final episode was just bomb! So much emotions and contradictions! Big thank you to all the actors and the whole team!

Rich storyline, great implementation of the beautiful nature in the mystery, fantastic camera and dynamic episodes. It deserves a good distribution!!!

This was a very entertaining watch. I did it over three nights so that shows you how it held my attention. I have friends in Bulgaria, and I have visted them several times over the last few years. The part of Bulgaria where the series is filmed is not all that typical, being a relatively rich tourist area. However, the series delivers some good plot twists and more or less believable characters. I could see how the series would end but there were enough twists to keep you guessing. It was obviously trying to capitalize on the success of Scandi crime series, but I would say that the whole thing was less brooding and more melodramatic. What you'd expect from a country like Bulgaria, where it's not hard to meet older people in the villages who wish they could return to Communist days, and which is run by Boyko Borisov, a leftover from the Communist era and who runs his own security company (if you know what I mean - look him up).
