Las Fierbinti

My boyfriend is from Banat, specifically Orsova, Romania. He has to interpret to me, but we both LOVE this show. We understand it is all in fun! I wish it was subtitled! I am learning Romanian and we are going there next week so I can meet his mom and dad. I am American but I understand this is satire, not reality! Just enjoy it! I love all the characters!

a portrait of Romania. nice, precise, cool, proposing memorable characters, hilarious situations, smart story and good dialogues. an interesting project who propose authenticity of every day situations, having the role of jester for a public looking for more than soap operas or stupid sitcoms. a series proposing stars and social critic and fake crisis and seductive characters. this details are the key of its huge success. and, maybe, the example of right manner to discover the profound Romania by its citizens. with a form of self irony, bitter and refreshing, mix of sympathy and pity, resignation and forms of selfishness. a Romania portrait. or, only a nice sketch.

The show is quite old now. It has it ups and downs but as a whole I can say it's a really good show compared with other Romanian TV shows. Of course it's not perfect and some of the characters lack the charisma and maybe sometimes it repeats the same ideas and thypologies, but I noticed a lot of people from all social categories are watching it so I believe it should be rated high. For the ones who understand the jokes it can be really relaxing and funny. I gave it a 9 because is I can put an equal sign between Las Fierbinti and any other comedy show from outside Romania.

funny, realistic, courageous. a series who seems ignore the West comedy recipes for reflect situations and stereotypes from Romanian reality. a village from Oltenia. and its events, personalities, conflicts, peaces, adventures and spirit. a splendid work after many exercises of humor for who the axis was vulgarity. in this case, the base ingredient remains a kind of innocence, a special and almost manner to solve problems and to define the life. nothing complicated. the bad guys are far to be real bad. the malicious characters - only old children. the woman represents in this small community the wise voice who guide man decisions. the strangers - just the strangers. short - a useful Romanian reflection of image about yourself and the other.not only for satirized it. but for define a state of soul.

I know this show is not for everyone but I personally really like it! The characthers and the world are so iconic and it's much better from other shows like this from a technical point of view. Really excited to see where the show is going!
