Las Fierbinti

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.

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!

I'm romanian, so I understand everything. But the laughs and jokes would only place this to a less than 4 as a score. The sole reason why I gave this a 9 is because Adrian Vancica. He portrays Celentano, but has so many scenography tales in the show. From a mindset point of view, he's a genius who requires again an open mindset. And if you're romanian and understand the substratum of what he's saying again and again (not only in the Christmas episode), you'll realise that throughout the seasons, he tries to make us face the cold reality, on all aspects. Similar to Ion Creanga, but far from Arghezi. Amazing.

I just love watching it! It pictures exactly how people, life... are sometimes. The actors are just great and wonderful! I'm glad Las Fierbinti is there and hope they will continue for many many years

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.
