El pantano

How many shows that you know manages to do that? You think first season was superb..then after streaming the second, you are pleasantly at awe that it's even better...I tell you wait till you stream the third.

Exquisite show that is very rewarding for meticulous viewer. It is like a mesmerizing wall tapestry where each intricate plot (motif) is woven with much perfection.

Sophisticated layout of interweaving plots all gracefully ties up...This Show cannot be rushed, fastforwarded or binged while multitasking..it deserves full attention of the viewer. Definitely gonna be a staple in my Archive of Lifetime Favorite Dramas to be Revisited.

I started watching it with low expectations and although the first episodes have some parts that seem unconnected or are hard to follow, the setting in an 80s communist Poland city and the good performance of the actors slowly help you to become more and more interested in the story. It is excellently shot, and it helps you to see a bit of what life was like in Eastern Europe in the 80s. Interesting, well made and only 5 episodes. Recommended!

Had me drawn in, once I started watching I couldn't stop. Well written, and nicely paced, There's nothing dumb or not believable. The acting is outstanding, I'd love to see another season.

Its a good and authentic story that is well played by the actors. It's grey, yes, but that's how life were back then.

If you are watching from Neflix, ensure to watch from the beginning of each episode as for a certain reason Netflix skips the beginning as if it was a Recap and actually it gives key elements of the story. The subtitles are terrible. I usually prefer to watch in original language but I realized there was a lot of flaws, so I switched quickly to English audio and it was better.
