I find this series strangely powerful. The character development is quite good and the actors deliver stirring performances as it captures the emotions of three "classy" hookers who long for better lives in communist Poland of the 70s. I love the way it's shot, the somewhat garish color resolution suggesting a low budget film from 50 years ago triggering a highly nostalgic vibe....it's a period piece for sure. Some may not like the slow pace, but I believe this is a verite effect, as if you are there in the story. True to the Polish spirit, it's a melancholic watch with a heavy dark curtain casting a shadow even in lighter moments. It's sometimes a little hard to follow and there seem to be some loose ends that are unlikely ever to be clarified, but well worth it.
