A gripping story about serial murders in a small town, it's the 3rd Polish noir I've watched on Netflix (the others being The Crime and Ultraviolet). As a Brazilian living in Rio de Janeiro I don't know much about the Poles, but it's great to see their culture and religiosity depicted.

I was disturbingly caught up in this show, through two seasons. So many fascinating plot threads, unusual people and mysterious time shifts. I think it's best not to expect answers for everything that happens but perhaps it would be good to keep copious notes. Write down each character as you encounter them and make note of what they do and what happens to them. I would have liked a little file to remind me who X was because X hasn't been on screen for six episodes and now is critical to the story. None of my confusion was helped by the score, which is on occasion really creepy and surreal. And time is not linear. By all means, dive in!

As Monty Python once said ...AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. The same cast is there with some interesting additions but the focus has to some extent, switched to the Nazi "treasure" that may or may not be in the vicinity. There are flashbacks that explain the presence of the newcomers but it is not always clear which time zone we are in and the editing is so bizarre that occasionally the storyline becomes incomprehensible. Having thought about it for a few days, I have to rewatch it since I feel I may have missed something..In fact, I enjoyed it so much I will go all the way back to S01

Excellent Po!ish series; a "Who done it", involving a new police chief/detective from Krakow. The filming is quite surreal, taking place high up in the mountains. There are all the usual plots with interesting twists that certainly doesn't lead me to know who the culprit is. So watch, and tell me if you have any ideas so far. But NO SPOILERS! I love watching these European TV shows as the terrain and vistas are exceeding gorgeous and serene. Enjoy and tell me what you think of the priest who looks like Bill Murray. Pax, Murf

A small town in rural Poland a project to develop land, a corrupt mayor, a weird parish, bones and skulls found, two girls murdered. A detective transferred from Kracow takes to investigate. This comes out as a natural crime thriller, intriguing at a proper pace, with a complex puzzle, not artificial twist and turns, not contrived situations, and on top of that not boring.
