This show looks like a cheap knock-off of the original show. The producers clearly have no idea what made the original show so special. The whole behind the scenes team have bitten more than they can chew. They are recreating the original scripts, but at the same time they are not paying attention to detail, pace and the character. There were so many iconic moments from the original show, that this production simply didn't know how to capture or recreate. Which is sad. Even the CW reboot version paid attention to detail. This one is even inept to change the opening titles when the new cast of characters appear. Not to mention shooting so much out of order that continuity is all over the place. For example, the dialogue would have a certain situation, which clearly happened, but it was never shown. Also, the direction, editing and cheap music is all over the place. Some actors just can't get the grip of their character. Marija Karan desperately tries to be Joan Collins, but if only she saw one minute of her performance, she would put more effort. On a brighter note, some actors like Branimir Popovic and Stefan Radonjic are playing their parts to a perfection. Sadly others don't follow. Still, some of the stuff is quite enjoyable. Note to the producers and to the show runner: LEARN ABOUT THE DETAILS AND ICONIC MOMENTS, KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. PRODUCTION AND ACTORS SHOULD HAVE WATCHED THE ORIGINIAL BEFORE FILMING. The viewers know the original, and we know the iconic moments you're missing. And direction is a lot to be desired from. Sadly this concept got in the wrong hands. Let's see if there's hope for the future seasons. I give it two stars for the effort and some enjoyable bits here and there.
