Deca zla

In this day and age where emphasis is placed on flashy images and other visual effects, this series brings a breath of fresh air by actually focusing on the story and acting - I was hooked from the get go. Same feeling I got when watching some of the other series on HBO, like "The night of" or "Mare from Easttown". Everything from the storyline to the actors and down to the title itself, just fits. The actors in particular are very good, and to me no one really stands out but they all mesh into one great performance.

I sincerely hope it becomes a success and the writer's other books get a chance to play out on screen.

Great job.

The book is great, the story is phenomenal, but I gave it a bad rating only because of the casting of the actors. The main actor, a lawyer, is not even close to what I imagined when I read it, but he played the role very badly. Unbelievable and it ruined my viewing of the series! Also, some inserted scenes are completely unnecessary, you should have stuck to the book, which I recommend to everyone, if you like excellent thrillers. A little drawn out, a little high scene and it's no wonder that the impression is spoiled!

The production team that worked on this series is well known in Serbia and they have already proven themselves to be incredible masters at destroying most things they can get their hands on. Unfortunately, this, like most things in Serbia, is laced with politics and ignorance!

The series is great, keeps the attention, the plot is excellent and the production is at an excellent level.

Good choice of cast, plot is phenomenal, realistic and good.

The episodes are good, it's just the right length and rarely a good series for our spaces.

I'm sorry there won't be another season, but maybe the story will continue.

The series can be watched in one breath, there are some scary scenes.

A series that leaves you breathless and has a very good plot flow. The actress who plays Anna could have done everything a little more emotionally, but all in all it's okay.

I certainly do not regret the time spent watching the series.

I have not the the book the Series is based on, but as I watched "Senke nad Balkanom" some time ago and I really enjoyed, I decided to delve into modern Serbian society as well. The synopsis sounded promising and I really was unaware who the killer was, the events unraveled and the title revealed more meaning - so I began to have my doubts... True, there was a related twist in the final episode, but the explanation of the past and the closure events were a bit topsy-turvy, including how some high officials were brought into justice.

The cast was mainly unknown to me, with the exemption of Radovan Vujovic (as Nikola Bobic) whom I also remember from the series mentioned in the beginning. At first, he seemed to become the glue of all the web but then other cast and storylines pushed him into the background - the motives of which remain unclear to me.

Thus, not a bad creation, but probably not the one for the first acquaintance with Serbian cinema, particularly regarding similar topics.

Give yourself chance to be entertained by both medium, because each of them will give you unique perspective and feeling. Book "Deca zla" by Miodrag Majic is complex, multilayered and very fast read, which you will be enjoying it immensely. Also, this was one of the best book adaptation in Serbian cinematography. Perfect choice of actors, locations, tone of the action gave us harmonious story line. Time well spent in a written world as well as visual one. Book "Deca zla " and tv series deserve all accolades that you hear these days from people who were fortunate to read a book and watched tv series to regional tv stations. Delighted!
