If you like organized crime themed movies with dark, gloomy and existential vibe, you will love this show. Music and shots are great, fantastic acting, lots of violence and an amazing atmosphere. I found it hard to stop watching till the end. Certainly recommended!

Definily the best polish series I have seen. Greate plot, beautifly scenes, very good play. It's more or less the same time as 1983 on Netflix was released, however Slepnac od swiatel it's a totaly different level of the cinema. I can't wait for a next sezon.
OK, you might have seen similar plots before, like in the danish "Pusher" movies: drug dealer with everything under control, makes a few wrong steps and it all spirals down. Its true to its genre as a gangster serie, but still it adds something new and interesting. I really love the atmosphere: it's none typical soundtrack, creative use of CGI, beautiful cinematography and locations that either helps to tell the story or adds atmosphere - or both (the location scout has done an excellent job indeed).
The acting is excellent. Kamil Nozynski, playing Kuba, gives us a main character we care about without playing on more strings then what is absolutely necessary. Jan Frycz, playing Dario, is giving us the best bad guy since "Herr Starr" in Preacher. Marta Malikowska is making a stunning performance, as this interesting female character, Pazina, which has depth and is far from stereotypical - something I often miss a lot in this genre.
Yes it's violent, it got some dark humor, some really interesting dialog, and it also got something you don't expect. Like the scene when the characters sing a little bit from the same song...
This is the first polish TV-serie I have seen in many years. But this has definitely made me open my eyes for polish TV-drama in the years to come.

May be a bit unjustified, but I want you to see this series. It is really worth it. It is dark, it is cruel, it is sometimes impossible to watch (because of the cruelty), if you are sensitive enough. It is dark, it is about dark reality, we all think it does not exist, but it is there, in every place you live. Just confront it. To supply drugs, there is an army waiting. Kuba, the main hero (?) is one of them. He considers him a working man. He delivers orders. Simple. Isn't it? But he is special. So special that once you get to know him, you would like to know more. These episodes will keep you waiting, you will want more, and more... Almost an addict ;-))))
The main actor, Kamil Nozynski is a perfect guy for this role. He is the most sensitive person one could imagine for a drug dealer. But he has his own world. His imaginations are what makes the film so different. You either love it, or you hate it, but it is always worth it to let your imagines work.
Who knows, what happens to you?
Beautiful visuals and aesthetics. Stylized, but still quite realistic - especially in dialogues and language. Very typical for V4 countries underworld. And devilishly funny. Psychedelic, even Lovecraftian overhangs. Works on so many levels - gangster flick, thriller, comedy, horror, existential drama... Beautiful music and shots of winter Warsaw.
Casting is superb. All actors and actresses play well, but Jan Frycz (Dario) and Robert Wieckiewicz (Jacek) are pure gold! Dario is one of the most creepy and weird antagonists I ever see.
Every episode is unique, but especially last few ones are SO dark and tense.
