The Hollow offers a compelling, provocative crime series that explores deeply rooted issues within Bosnian society through the lens of mystery and thriller.
The characters are far from idealized heroes; they are layered, often driven by their own fears and biases, which makes them incredibly relatable. I did not expect this from Bosnian series.
Visually, the series employs a dark, almost melancholic aesthetic that amplifies the sense of isolation and tension. This, paired with a subtle narrative rhythm and well-executed plot twists, keeps viewers captivated from the first to the last episode.
I tried to do this without spoilers, it's a short series, one 5 episodes. Hope for the Hollow 2.
