Ja, Chef

The funniest Slovenian series.

I have watched 4 seasons so far and they are fine. An excellent and key role is played by Jurij Zrnec and the cooks and waitresses, but a very poor performance by the restaurant owner - Bojan Emersic, who compensates for his acting talent with forced acting, instead of actual acting talent. Typical for Slovenian films. In short, some older players cannot shake off their compulsion to play and their personal primitivism.

Without Jurij Zrnec - Ljubo-Chef, the series would not be what it is.

Music is fine, but it repeats itself too many times.

I hope some further seasons will be as funny as first seasons.

The series Ja Chef! Is funny at first, but the enjoyment of watching the show gradually decelerates. At first it is funny, but soon, over the time it gets more and more ridiculous with un-real over-the-top characters that are just annoying. I don't think its relatable at all, not realistic whatsoever. It just seems as a soap opera in some sort of disguise. The 'dramas' are repeating, the overall chronological order is uneven. Music is terrible and over-repetitive. It has this quirky life lessons.

Anyway don't recommend watching this modern-day soap-opera whatsoever. It isn't relatable, nor funny anymore.

The show starts really funny and good, but unfortunately in the 2nd season it loses itself. Characters are getting ridiculously stupid and become unreal. After that it just becomes soap opera.

Do you really know Slovenia? We have around 2 mio. People in the country and in this show you are willing to see the greatest talents in the acting history which country can produce. Further more, I think this is the best show ever made. Actors were great, nonetheless storyline is perfect. Show is funny, educational and it has the abillity to make you think about your own life decisions. Even more, music selection in show is perfect. If you are Slovenian you can be proud of your fellow actors and musicians.

Great and funny first season but after that everything went downhill and every season was worse then the one before with 6th season as only exception. Jurij Zrnec (Sef Bohinc) is great comedian and half of time he is really funny and is carying the show but the other half he just screams which is very annoying, Klemen Janezic (Luka) acting is terrible which is obvious since he is not a comedian, Only funny thing about Stef they wanted to make was his speech defect and I will never understand how can this be funny to someone, Tomi and Zdravc are funny guys everywhere else but in this show their jokes are terrible and cringe, while Lovro is only one with good punch lines but nearly no screen time. Kavcic the owner was nothing special in first seasons, but now everything is so bad that he is actually the most funny guy of the show. Music is terrible and same 3-4 songs repeats all the time. If you consider watch it, watch only first season or even better go watch Gospod profesor instead since is much better with great performance of Jure Henigman and Tina Vrbnjak. Also you will hear the best music Slovenia has to offer as a bonus.
