Soleil noir

Great series made by Daragan Bjelogrlic. His masterpiece.

Before this show came along, Serbian production was mostly centered on family dramedies in the form of telenovelas. Bjelogrlic did something special when he came up with Black Sun. Not only did he raise the bar, he also fueled the production of other awesome Serbian production tv shows( Beleznica profesora Miskovica and Kalkanski Krugovi being a prime example). As for the show itself, it focuses on political games and underground of post-WWI Belgrade and Yugoslavia. It's not historically accurate but it's interesting take on the history of Balkan Peninsula. Show is full of awesome, believable plot-twists, interesting characters(the main trio is just superb) and the production values are equal to HBO, Netflix... Some of these big corps should give a lot of money to Bjelogrlic because he showed here that he can make a captivating, interesting, quality tv-show with not that much money. Just imagine what he can do with a true big budget.

First of all, this is something completely different than anything else that was released in Serbia in a past decade. It's too exciting and pilot was great. Bjela did a great job like with Montevideo. There is a murder, twists, suspects, there are Cozacs from Russia, VMRO from Macedonia, there are Germans, Serbs and a few more interesting groups. If I can compare this one with something famous it will be Peaky Blinders for sure. My recommendations to everyone.

You need to see this show! Great story, great actors, great production. Can't wait for the next season. Must watch!

Just finished watching the first series and was totally captivated by the plot and characters. Amazon get your finger out I want to see the Second Series. I regularly watch Foreign language TV through Walter Presents on Channel 4, Netflix and Amazon Prime and this rates as one of the best series I have seen. Central European politics of the 1920s is totally unknown to English speaking audiences so the storyline is fresh and the world of the Belgrade underworld unknown. Itis reminiscent of Peaky Blinders and fans of that will enjoy this fix as like there the actions and experiences of the First World War motivate the actions of many of the characters and unfinished business fuels the plotline. Well worth a box set binge
