There are a lot of charachters and it might take a few episodes to get a clue who is who, but once you do it becomes more and more intriguing. This TV series basically shows how politics and media are interconnected and what goes on behind the headlines we usually see in the newspapers.

It is an open secret that many of local newspapers in Balkan region (in this case Croatia) are in some way influenced by people who sponsor them and they are used as some type of political propaganda, so there is nothing the journalists can do about it if they want to keep their job.

Well, almost nothing, as some journalists in the series show.

It is a pretty good show, and I am glad there will be a second season.

Great Croatian political thriller, two candidates running for president, the incumbent a sick woman and the challenger, the focus of the series, a devious viscious character, in the middle a newspaper full of happles working class journalists determined to cleanse all the misery and corruption surrounding the political environment involving the challenger, the Judiciary and the Police. Fast paced, with great character development, good imagery First season compelling and vibrant, second season drags a bit but keeps on delivering with quality. Had some downs but it was altogether fun. Big production effort to be valued for a country not traditionally used to make this behemoth series

This show is for all of watchers who love political drama with some of crime elements. It features many roles, from minor and regular people, to influencial and merciless, it shows how real life works, and how regular people strugle to make a difference. Show can relate to HoC, but it is different in many ways, or is high politics same everywhere? Great show!

Good tv has a social conscience while maintaining entertainment value. Took me a couple episodes to realize the heavy weight intentions of this show but now i've got it. To the point where I can laugh along w the bad guy while rooting for the good guys, so to speak. In other words, see the chess game while enjoying the ride.

Outstanding casting , great script and perfect direction . The paper has much relevance to the demise of freedoms and liberties even in the free world. In view of populist right's rise in both Europe and North America fed by xenophobia , economic fall and immigration challenges , this series has so much to tell to the world . As fundamental freedoms are curtailed in the name of insecurity (?) around the world and wealthy nations rise their borders , crime , corruption and demagogue prevail significantly . The Paper is indeed a wake up call to what we undergo. Though the story is based upon dirty relationships revolving around businessmen , politicians and high level state officials , it is easily applicable to many nations around the world . Honestly speaking I was not expecting such a great production from Croatia . Hvala. I am looking forward to seeing the season 3.
