It's not in any way a marvel of cinema, nor does this show leave anyone speechless, but it's not intending to, it's a nice and likable homage to Yugoslavian culture and what it meant to teenagers at the time. I think that it shouldn't be watched outside of that context. It's meant to remind the people who were teenagers at the time the show takes place (early 80s) how things were and bring back memories, and to show the younger generation everything their parents have been talking about, Utopian socialistic country.
At first, the show was a bit corny and made me cringe, they wanted to give so many references to that time, forcefully putting remarks into dialogue, which I cannot imagine anyone would do, at that or any other time. It truly was cringe-worthy and almost made me stop watching the show.
But later, it gets a lot better, they went past that barrier and actually put more emphasis on the psychological aspects of characters, but still, they are pretty vacant considering it's a comedy/drama show, so everyone is just having fun, or at least trying to.
Idea of two journalists meeting different celebrities is ingenious, the spontaneity of meetings is highly satisfying and the adventures of those two guys is probably the best thing in the show so far.
All in all, show worth watching once a week, nothing spectacular but still very entertaining, especially to those in love with the way of life in the golden 80s of Yugoslavian culture.

Best TV-series I have ever seen, so realistic, great actors and the only reasons some people don't want to see it is political or they don't like 80's way of life. Old cars, way of leading companies and problems in families are real and everyone can recognize themselves if they lived in 1980's. A lot of kids like to watch it too because they want to see how they parents lived. And one more great thing about this series is cooperation between Yugoslav different countries and an attempt to improve relations between former Yugoslav countries (cooperation of actors and story from 80's).I hope you'll like it to. Definitely worth seeing!
I was teen in 80s in Yugoslavia so this series for me hit me hard.. Like I lived all that again.. You watch series but also your own long forgotten memories come 2 light again. Best Croatian series...only series In last 20 year that I waited 2 watch every week.. Now i watch it again. Off course is not best series ever but it describes very well most interesting and productive period in this places.
I love this retro show. the cast is great, as well as the stories of the long episodes. it deals with the 80's in zagreb and yugoslavia. mostly focused on the life in zagreb so far, but indirectly also with the rest of yugoslavia. anica dobra is stunning and such a charismatic and gifted actress. can't wait to watch the new season! they should also make some episodes in other ex-yugoslav cities, to make it even more interesting for the people who are not from croatia (this tv show is being broadcasted in bosnia and serbia as well).
This is by far the most original Croatian show EVER! It is absolutely fresh and funny. The character development is amazing! I'm enjoying every second of it and can't wait to see more and more! Actors are doing great job. Don't get me even start with scenario, so original and realistic. Thank you for making my Mondays better!

- TriviaIn one episode Srica, who is played by Hrvoje Keckes, says : "Be realistic, as my son would say." This is a nod to another role of Keckes, Kazimir Hrastek, one of the main characters from cult Croatian sitcom "Bitange i princeze" whose catchphrase was "Be realistic." However, Marjan Srica can not be the father of Kazimir Hrastek, as Kazo's father, played by Damir Loncar in "Bitange i princeze", is named Domagoj Hrastek.
