Deca zla

The series is great, keeps the attention, the plot is excellent and the production is at an excellent level.

Good choice of cast, plot is phenomenal, realistic and good.

The episodes are good, it's just the right length and rarely a good series for our spaces.

I'm sorry there won't be another season, but maybe the story will continue.

The series can be watched in one breath, there are some scary scenes.

A series that leaves you breathless and has a very good plot flow. The actress who plays Anna could have done everything a little more emotionally, but all in all it's okay.

I certainly do not regret the time spent watching the series.

I have not the the book the Series is based on, but as I watched "Senke nad Balkanom" some time ago and I really enjoyed, I decided to delve into modern Serbian society as well. The synopsis sounded promising and I really was unaware who the killer was, the events unraveled and the title revealed more meaning - so I began to have my doubts... True, there was a related twist in the final episode, but the explanation of the past and the closure events were a bit topsy-turvy, including how some high officials were brought into justice.

The cast was mainly unknown to me, with the exemption of Radovan Vujovic (as Nikola Bobic) whom I also remember from the series mentioned in the beginning. At first, he seemed to become the glue of all the web but then other cast and storylines pushed him into the background - the motives of which remain unclear to me.

Thus, not a bad creation, but probably not the one for the first acquaintance with Serbian cinema, particularly regarding similar topics.

Suspenseful, emotional, yet doesn't lack funny moments.

The storyline unfolds at a somewhat slow pace, yet manages to captivate the audience's attention. What sets "Deca Zla" apart is its deliberate avoidance of explicit sex scenes and the absence of gratuitous violence - a refreshing departure from the prevalent trend in contemporary Serbian cinema, which often leans heavily on showcasing excessive bloodshed and nudity.

A significant flaw lies in the predictability - by the 7th episode, I accurately predicted almost every twist and turn.

Radovan Vujovic delivers an outstanding performance. Jana Milosavljevic is impressive, flawlessly sheds her Eastern European accent. Her performances in this series is truly noteworthy. Nikola Kojo, as expected, delivers a consistently strong performance. Ana Franic, in her limited role, shines brilliantly. Mihailo Laptosevic, who takes on the role of the antique dealer, might have a limited time on screen but his performance exudes authenticity, warmth, and brilliance. Emina Muftic, portraying Munevera, is truly enchanting.

On the other side, Anica Dobra is a major disappointment. Jovana Stojiljkovic seems to fall into the trap of consistently displaying the same facial expressions and diction, as if she is perpetually playing the same character, regardless of the role. And does she really need to be featured in a sex scene in every film or show she appears in? Milica Janevski is good, but sometimes overacting. Slaven Doslo - his acting skills seem ... lacking.

Finally, we have a TV show that does not promise us TO BE CONTINUED in order to earn more profit. A faithfully conveyed story without succumbing to trends and viewers in order to pass the time.

We have a story about tragedy and violence without faithfully depicting violence in detail, which has not been seen in our country for a long time. Does the fact that you only have a few seconds of sex in 10 episodes of the series tell you enough about the emphasis on the story and atmosphere from the book?

Great actors!

I saw what I expected.

It was worth the sleepless night! Recommendation is Do not start watching if you are not ready to take your time because you will be dragged away and you will not be able to press STOP.

The book is great, the story is phenomenal, but I gave it a bad rating only because of the casting of the actors. The main actor, a lawyer, is not even close to what I imagined when I read it, but he played the role very badly. Unbelievable and it ruined my viewing of the series! Also, some inserted scenes are completely unnecessary, you should have stuck to the book, which I recommend to everyone, if you like excellent thrillers. A little drawn out, a little high scene and it's no wonder that the impression is spoiled!

The production team that worked on this series is well known in Serbia and they have already proven themselves to be incredible masters at destroying most things they can get their hands on. Unfortunately, this, like most things in Serbia, is laced with politics and ignorance!
