Barátok közt

Although there are no Academy Award level performances in this local Hungarian program (not that there are in any soap opera anywhere), still this show manages to catch the attention of over 6 million viewers across the country every evening. The plot lines are situations that can and do arise in daily life, and I find myself looking forward to each succeeding episode. In september of 2003, I was fortunate enough to meet two of the show's stars, Otto Kinizsi and Anita Deutsch. I watch it every evening and enjoy it a great deal. I hope that this show remains on air for many seasons to come! A great watch and if anyone is curious you should check it out!

I don't really get what people like about it... It is just terrible and boring.

The actors wouldn't be that bad, if it wasn't for the poor story-line. Maybe it was worth watching some years ago but they can't come up with anything new nowadays. Furthermore, I can't understand why it has to be so unnatural. Probably one of the worst series I have seen....(or looked into)

Don't watch it! Don't waste 30 minutes of your life even on one episode of such a far-fetched series ! Yes, better than reality shows, but I reckon it doesn't deserve much attention.

However, it's not as bright as a US million-dollar production, but way better than any Mexican, Brazilian or other usual latin title.

Not to mention it is produced in a country that once fell under the red hammer, and this picturesque really shows the changes occured since. But really. And the chix are just hot.

So, it worth watching a couple times, (but not at all times;)

Now that it's over after 23 years, i can give it a 2...

For all god's sake, who were those that let this trash on the screen?! The stupid and sorry thing is the fact, that nowadays this is the most popular TV-transmission in Hungary. Millions gaze it every eve, and fan for the so-called 'stars'. Acting performance? Nowhere. Dramaturgy? Even the basic logic is missing, so stupid the storyline, which is similar to a chewing gum - although somehow they have to fill that terrible 30 minutes every night, don't they?
