S.E.R.E.G.

Decent storytelling coupled with mediocre acting. As you get more and more into it, you will eventually forget about the acting and get completely immersed in the story. It doesn't necessarily have much depth to it, so you shouldn't expect some life changing lesson in there, but as long as you take it lightly, this serie will keep you engaged and entertained from the beginning till the end.

Now I also understand that most people look at the serie through the lense of contemporary Hungarian politics, which is such a shame, because it takes away the enjoyment of the story. It's worth to give it a chance with an open mind, and just enjoy the story for what it is: casual entertainment.

It's not an American production, but they handled many aspects quite well, especially considering the limitations they had. There are plenty of big-budget movies and TV shows where the 'foreign' locations were created with much cheaper, often looking far less realistic than in this production. The story may follow some familiar clichés. Despite having a significantly smaller budget, they made the most of what they had. In fact, the entire 6-episode series cost far less than a single episode of SEAL Team. Obviously, recruitment goals also play a role in the film, but the same element is present in many other productions as well.

We are slowly the last country in Europe in all indicators. In such circumstances, it is gratifying that there is at least enough money for such a work. After all, "kaloda" (stocks) and "deres" (hoary) are no longer applicable, prisoners of war and recalcitrant soldiers can at least be punished by watching this series.

After watching the first episode, I went back to evaluate the series "In Angyalborben" and raised the 4 stars I gave earlier to 6 stars.

I watched it at all because of Iván Kamarás, it was a shame.

However, I will look into each episode later, and if by some miracle I experience improvements, then I promise to come back and correct my review.

"S. E. R. E. G" is a series that, despite its high budget, falls short in several key areas. The characters are disappointingly one-dimensional, lacking depth and development. The main character, in particular, comes across as an emotionless machine, making it difficult for viewers to connect with them. The dialogues are unrealistic and fail to resonate with real-life conversations, further distancing the audience. Additionally, the series seems to be heavily influenced by state propaganda, which detracts from its overall quality. Despite the significant financial investment, "S. E. R. E. G" does not deliver a compelling or engaging viewing experience.

Once again, a very bad film was made with a lot of money. A film with underdeveloped characters and a silly plot. It has nothing to do with reality. You feel embarrassed when you watch it. You can't decide whether the creators of this film were serious or if it's all just irony. If they were serious, then there's a serious problem. If they intended to make people want to join the army with this film, they missed the mark completely. Do the creators really think that someone who has never wanted to be a soldier would wake up one morning and decide to enlist? This only happens in an alternate reality, which could only exist in the mind of a screenwriter who has never stepped out of their elite residential area and has no clue about reality.
