Crno-bijeli svijet

After watching a couple of episodes I got tired of it's unconvincing, dry, amateurish, humorless (not by purpose), thing they wanna call acting. The only way you could enjoy this is if you have already been brainwashed to this level of quality. The script is exciting and imaginative as a tic-tac-toe match played by a couple of drunken monkeys, no offense to those beautiful creatures. And they show it on prime time and advertise as one of the most expected shows of the year. Unbelievable. Can they produce a show worthy of paying attention ? Has Croatia no true movie industry talents ? I do think it does and that this show is just a fine example of Crony Capitalism at work.

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.

Yugoslavia(Croatia) during the 80's is an experience only us who lived there and then, can understand. It is, in a word, undescribable. Like the rest of the world is just a pale reflection of everything this time and place was. And you know what, this series somehow manages to make it happen. It is transferring the viewer back in utterly masterful ways.

I quit after fourth episode. Acting is subpar, and screenwriting is extremely clumsy. They've never even bothered to check if some bits and pieces were authentic for 80s, or appeared in 90s and later.

I usually turn a blind eye if some Croatian show does such a mistake, but in this case I would have to watch the show with both eyes closed.

To give a few examples: 1. Tito died May 4th 1980, and they nonchalantly put it on May 2nd.

2. The Little Flying Bears aired 1990. They are mentioning it 1980.

3. Popular chocolate "Zivotinjsko carstvo" didn't have a blue cover until recently.

These are just from the last episode that I watched.

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).
