Chylka

The longer it goes on, the less credible the story becomes; the weak plot runs out of steam long before the story limps to a feeble finish. I wonder if the legal details are remotely accurate; if so, the Polish judicial system is one big kangaroo court. Only days after a child goes missing, a suspect is put on trial for murder, even though there's no body! Only in Poland? Incredibly, there seem to be several more seasons of this mediocre melodrama.

I love European crime shows, but this one was a little too slow and boring. I nearly gave up halfway through and now I kind of wish I did. It was very predictable with the few twists that we got, And the rest wasn't really much of a thriller or whodunnit. A lot of the things the characters did made zero sense and I still have a lot of questions about that.

The main character is vulgar, frequently drunk and drives too fast. When she's not too wasted to answer her phone, she's getting serial killers off. Not clear how she's supposedly a great lawyer, because it seems like she should be disbarred. The plot is full of holes as another reviewer mentioned and it doesn't make sense that people would retain her when she is a drunk and nasty and racist toward them. I guess I've just run out of things to watch and I was intrigued because this series is Polish.

This lead Polish actress who plays CHYLKA is phenomenal. She is a defense attorney and what you don't know is whether or not she is defending someone who is guilty or innocent. Her interrogations and courtroom cross-examinations are something to behold. She's complicated and men like her. They respect her. She likes them too but she's not entirely respectful. Her young associate is besotted with her and there is a real bond if not a romantic one. Lots of swearing. Lots of steak dinners in beautiful dimly lit restaurants. Always vodka - lots of it. She's like a dancer. She's like a boxer. She looks like a million bucks. She's nasty at times and belligerent and cuts to the chase which oddly enough is the truth and crux of the case. Some of her cases are terrifying. She has her own set of ethics but she's troubled by trauma in her childhood and will do anything to protect a child. The 3rd season is more difficult as she is self-destructive. Just never give up on this feisty blonde dynamo.

I am a sucker for crime dramas especially those set outside UK or USA so had much anticipation for this . Absolutely loved Polish series called Pakt which was brilliant .They cannot all be good but by the standards of the genre this is dire . The series started sort of ok ...if you can accept a law firm taking on the role of detective agency .,.and Magdalena Cielecka is great eye candy but honestly the plot decends to drivel by episode 3 .Plot complletely stupid and incredible .Cannot believe Polish police and justice system is so incompetent .

Mr And Mrs Polish scriptwriters please try to write something better . Cinematography good and shots of Polish small town and countryside pleasant enough ,but thats all .
