Le gang du gant vert

I absolutely loved this Polish comedy about three Robin Hood style elder ladies hiding in elderly people house from police. A charming story reminds us that elderly people can be witty, attractive, very pleasant and inventive and it's great to show that elderly actors are as beautiful as young ones.

A good length of eight episodes, story not too long, not too short. Lovely actresses playing three main roles and a very nice cast of elderly Polish actors. Superb plot with many turns and twists, and the very ending with several cliffhangers is a good promise of another season of well written second part of this charming story.

It's a HOOT! I am like letting out this scream-laughs like some sort of demented bird of prey. It is darkly comedic, quirky, off-beat, original, and this show is having fun. Watch it and just be wildly entertained by the richly dark and dry humor.

These women are bringing spark to the geriatric set. I find it interesting that the same general area of Europe just released the horror movie 'Old People' which deals with the plight of the geriatric set in a totally d different genre. These writers took the same general idea and said "But what if it was FUN?! And what if we helped these people find their agency again in a positive way? What if they went vigilante? But with great fashion sense?

This show is great!

This show isn't slick or fast-paced but its a fun watch. Think of this as Leverage with 3 fabulous women in their 60s for whom age is just a number.

You are likely to guess whats coming next and the cops aren't all there with their investigation. Luck seems to really favour these women but they hold their own.

Its a light binge over a weekend or when you don't want to watch something intense. I've recently started watching Polish shows and though they can be predictable, they are quite enjoyable.

I personally stick to the original audio and read the subtitles as I don't like the sound of the English translation.

Honestly, I think it's one of the best among current Polish comedy shows. Fresh ideas, fun stories (crime stories!), wonderfully lovable characters. It's original they decided to focus on older people and made them witty, interesting and cool. The acting is superb too (for those unfamiliar with Polish actors, there are some VERY well-known people in this one) and overall message is heartwarming. Even if it's not your typical type of show, give it a try. You may be very pleasantly surprised. Both season 1 and season 2 keep the same message and the same fun. Episodes are short and engage the viewer nicely. Finally we have a show that features older generation in a cool way.

It really doesn't look or sound interesting from the beginning. 8 episodes of 25 minutes or so without the titles and credits. About 10 minutes into it, I was going to turn it off but decided to stick with it. Nonetheless, it pulled me in by the middle of the 2nd episode.

It turns out, the story and characters were captivating. It is an unusual narrative, one that gets your attention slowly.

Three female leads running away from the police due to their latest heist, find succour by enrolling to live in an assisted living community. A tarot card reader who could guess the future, a mischievous and sexy grandma, and a former fighter pilot hide together.

In the end series end, no questions remain left unanswered.
