This is for certain the best Bulgarian film I've seen in recent years, if not the last decade. Fun and with great acting!
It is a wink to an era and a generation, but you don't need to be a part of it to understand it or enjoy it. Such a nice surprise, even the trailers looked good, but I missed it when it was in cinemas, so am happy to have seen it now.
Most surprising was the music, actually - great songs with accurate texts and most of them quite catchy.
Every department did their part, but the biggest stat was the dialogue - so natural and real-life, something that often kills BG movies, but here it made all the difference.

Very nice first season - good character development and gradation. Adequate albeit hyperbolised daily situations and overly enjoyable storyline with good performances all round.
Unfortunately, the second season is significantly dumbed down from the get go and the storyline feels too forced including characters no one asked for that dial up the volume towards existing relationships and forced conflicts between everyone inadequately. In defiance of the 1st season there is no character growth but more backtracking which is illogical... Had to drop if after 2 and a half episodes, it is just not the same nor worth it any more.

I have only 1 thing to say- Whatever this was it was not a Bond movie.
Everything was so out of character it is unbelievable. How could you mess it up this much even Daniel Craig could not save it is beyond me. If you've been a fan, save yourself from this and the previous entry in the saga and watch the rest or the originals. Very difficult to finish and unnecessary long. Character development and dialogue largely fall flat. Only good thing about it was Anna de Armas, but she's in it for 5mins.. As I said - not a Bond movie, just some action flick! I only put 5 for some of the fights' choreography, some of the action sequences and the work of the crew that went into it. Sadly it was not worth it at all, not to mention how many times it was postponed from release. A true mess from beginning to end. Sadly, this franchise is another one ruined irreversibly!
