Despiértate

And again we obviously have quite a few reviewers reviewing the series after one or two episodes.

Well, your loss. I binged it in one afternoon, was planning to do some work next to it but really couldn't get to any mentionable progress because... the series was that good, interesting.

All i can say, nice project. For the budget - actually amazing.

The story/plot is really good & has massive potential for a big hit in my eyes. If they commit to a second season that is.

The actors were ok - who really stood out to me is the crazy girl... oh God she pulled me in.. she was amazing, I loved her.

The others were great too for their characters.

Adam's Ignacy Liss (?) has extraordinary potential to rise to a widely recognised actor, he seemed authentic in 98% of the scenes and is easy on the eye. The main actress has that smile I've seen somewhere else, or reminded me of someone... I can't put my finger on it yet, but it will come to me.

So, the plot: Girl wakes up in an institution for amnesiacs after an accident, makes friends there, falls in love & starts to doubt the institution's premise to make them 'well' again and the mind cocktail really starts in the last 2 episodes.

I was astounded. And I'd like a 2nd season please. I can't remember when I said that the last time about a movie/series plot.

Don't listen to the haters, if you get bored ... pull through - you will be rewarded the last 2 episodes.

I finish this serie in 1 Day and in Need to know how it ends give me another season.

Nothing out of extraordinary in the beginning but the suspenful it gets better until the 5th episode (the best in my opinion).

Since I got Netflix I prefer to search to watch everything but Hollywood as I find other countries make quite awesome series and movies, even better than Hollywood. So, I gave our sister Slavic country chance few times, and of course, when I read the info about these series, I couldn't miss it and I wasn't disappointed. Binged it two days and expecting season 2, as soon as possible, please!

Atmosphere in series is very mystic, dream-like, and there is something oddly nostalgic about it. It has a lot of story lines and visions but they all connect in the end, and none of it is there just "for effect", it all has a purpose. Characters are really good, acting is on point, and I love the twist at the end of season 1. I don't agree with review that wrote it was "predictable", you could never see it coming, but it slowly creeps up on you near the ending. Quite well, I am impressed!

As this Polish series opens a teenaged girl wakes up in the 'Second Chance' institution for amnesiacs. A message informs her of some details such as the fact that she has been their four days, her parents died in an accident and that she knows that she is named after her aunt but doesn't remember her name, at least initially. When her door unlocks the leaves her room and starts meeting the other people there. Most of the other young people there have been there much longer than her. As her treatment proceeds she starts having strange hallucinations of a red haired girl and hears somebody calling the name 'Karolina'... there is nobody there by that name. She, along with another patient decide to escape... things only get more mysterious.

I rather enjoyed this series which, as things stand, is a single six part series. The ending certainly suggests more might be planned. The main setting creates a nice creepy atmosphere; the sense of unease is increased as things we think we know are questioned. The cast is solid, most obviously Maria Wawreniuk, who plays our protagonist and is rarely off screen. It is confusing at times; but in a good way as assumptions are proved wrong. While this isn't a special effects heavy series, those that there are, are pretty good. Overall an intriguing little series; I hope we get a second season.

These comments are based on watching the series in Polish with English subtitles.
