Infamy

It's quiet a good story about a young Roma girl who moves from United Kingdom to Poland. It starts all good, but it tends to be so so boring. I mean it is a good story, they show us where she began, how free she was living her life before and how difficult it is for her to cope with the Roma style of living and rules. But it gets so long and the story slows down too quickly. At first, after two first episodes I put nine out of ten but as I moved on to the fourth and fifth etc episodes I couldn't see the time for it to get to the end. I love polish cinema and don't get me wrong, actors are good, picture is good, but the story gets too long.

Infamy 2023" is a standout series that dives deep into history's darkest corners. It captivates with its powerful content, outstanding cast, and masterful storytelling. The actors deliver remarkable performances, bringing authenticity to their roles. The series fearlessly portrays historical realities, tackling oppression and discrimination head-on. Despite controversy, it prompts vital discussions about our world today. In just a few episodes, it packs an emotional punch, leaving a lasting impact. "Infamy 2023" is an unmissable exploration of human history and its relevance to the present, making it a must-watch series.

It's a look into Roma life, but doesn't dive too deeply. The main theme is culture clash, main characters are Roma but they move to Poland from Wales, Roma live next to Poles, younger, more modern generations vs old, set in their ways generations.

Storytelling relies too much on stereotypes. Patriarchy, women have no voice, family is everything but follow the rules are you are kicked out, Poles are racist..... Plenty of stuff is exaggerated.

It's not a bad series, as such. There is some drama, some character development, but overall it feels script is too constrained by the image of Roma and how they interact with others to develop a solid story.

It's very good if u don't take it too seriously. Romani culture changed, nowadays no one forces girls to get married. Poles aren't that racist but they wouldn't treat the gypsy girl so special in real life. No one would give an attention to her bad rap. Apart from the fact that the film is terribly exaggerated, I enjoyed it. To be honest i like it more than "Euphoria". 10 points for costumes and traditional music. The film frames are amazing too. It fits good into drama genre. I'm waiting for more with a hope next time polish cinema won't show characters in such a stereotypical way. And I won't have to listen to horrible rap anymore...

In one word: WOW. What a show. Everything from the story and characters to the music and atmosphere are simply spectacular. This is the kind of quality that rarely comes along, and I hope it wins dozens of awards. The show is moving, gritty, poignant, and searing in its commentary on modern life for Roma communities. Zofia is breathtaking, and supported by a fantastic ensemble cast.

The cinematography is atmospheric, beautiful, and oftentimes magical. The writing is sharp, powerful, and moves the story along with intensity and heart. It doesn't shy away from the racism and brutality Roma people face daily, yet balances this heaviness with beautiful moments of connection and joy.

The actors are all fantastic. The music is touchingly haunting. I don't have enough words of praise to heap on this series. GO. WATCH IT. It's easily one of the top 3 things Netflix has put out this year. I literally signed up to IMDb just to be able to review it - it's that good.
