Blinded by the Lights

If you like organized crime themed movies with dark, gloomy and existential vibe, you will love this show. Music and shots are great, fantastic acting, lots of violence and an amazing atmosphere. I found it hard to stop watching till the end. Certainly recommended!

OK, you might have seen similar plots before, like in the danish "Pusher" movies: drug dealer with everything under control, makes a few wrong steps and it all spirals down. Its true to its genre as a gangster serie, but still it adds something new and interesting. I really love the atmosphere: it's none typical soundtrack, creative use of CGI, beautiful cinematography and locations that either helps to tell the story or adds atmosphere - or both (the location scout has done an excellent job indeed).

The acting is excellent. Kamil Nozynski, playing Kuba, gives us a main character we care about without playing on more strings then what is absolutely necessary. Jan Frycz, playing Dario, is giving us the best bad guy since "Herr Starr" in Preacher. Marta Malikowska is making a stunning performance, as this interesting female character, Pazina, which has depth and is far from stereotypical - something I often miss a lot in this genre.

Yes it's violent, it got some dark humor, some really interesting dialog, and it also got something you don't expect. Like the scene when the characters sing a little bit from the same song...

This is the first polish TV-serie I have seen in many years. But this has definitely made me open my eyes for polish TV-drama in the years to come.

I have to say, this is one of the best HBO Poland productions. Dialogues, actors play, visual side, colors, music everything on top notch level so needed in Polish film industry. Plots is as well amazing and catchy especially for people familiar with Polish reality.

I strongly wish for HBO to continue this series even for one more season. Worth every second of your time!

One of the best (just the best?) Polish series for years. Excellent acting, keeping in suspense, music, a huge amount of perfect details, which in its entirety create a virtually perfect work, which is definitely worth seeing.

Beautiful visuals and aesthetics. Stylized, but still quite realistic - especially in dialogues and language. Very typical for V4 countries underworld. And devilishly funny. Psychedelic, even Lovecraftian overhangs. Works on so many levels - gangster flick, thriller, comedy, horror, existential drama... Beautiful music and shots of winter Warsaw. Casting is superb. All actors and actresses play well, but Jan Frycz (Dario) and Robert Wieckiewicz (Jacek) are pure gold! Dario is one of the most creepy and weird antagonists I ever see. Every episode is unique, but especially last few ones are SO dark and tense.
