Nemanjici: Radjanje kraljevine

Very bad first episode.Poor acting,poor script...i hope that second episode will be better.

Suffers from mediocre script, direction and acting.

Actors are unconvincing. Granted the material they have to work with isn't the best (to say the least) but they lack energy and passion.

Dialogues can be cringe worthy at times. It feels like the show is expecting to create tension and emotional involvement by merely being set in the time when medieval Serbian state was being created.

Characters lack any development and appear to be nothing more but a bare bone recreation of historical characters, which is very weird since important historical events like battles are merely hinted at or shown in the background, while majority of screen time deals with character interacting with one another.

Cinematography is great and really puts you in the mood, but it alone isn't enough to make you emotionally involved, even if you're a Serb. For any non Serb, this is going to be extremely boring.

Very little substance, all in all. It feels like the producers are expecting success simply because of the time period it is set in and money spent on cinematography.

Hopefully it picks up, but beginning feels very underwhelming.

Do yourself a favor and just go to wikipedia. Characters in the show just deliver wikipedia lines in first person, deprived of all emotion, so the actors seem to be bad, but they have only been given a crap script that they can't emotionaly conect with

Bad script, bad acting, poor production... Just don't waste your time...

I'ts a shame that this large production that we have all eagerly been waiting for failed dismally. Characters are bland. The fighting scenes are bland. There is absolutely no emotion in any of the characters or dialogue between them. There is no substance. Casting is absolutely atrocious. Whose idea was it to give the main role of the founder of the Serbian kingdom Stefan Nemanja to an ugly Montenegrin actor who previously acted in an anti-Serbian production? It would have been better if they gave the role to someone like Zarko Lausevic. Also, one of Stefan Nemanja's little children had an annoying over-forced Belgrade snobby accent which annoyed every time the little brat opened his mouth- historically this was inconsistent as Belgrade didn't exist at that time. I wish i could give this 0 stars.
