I'm glad to see a quality series in my language
cronosuranus-8526710 November 2022
I'm glad to see a quality series in my language It is a very low cost series I watched with pleasure and I am not retired Actors play with passion not just for money I don't care that the script is inspired by another unknown series.

I appreciated the thread of the action, the construction of the characters.

Their identity and character are revealed unexpectedly, The twists and turns of the situation captivated me

It could be better in the music and scenery section I would have liked to see some special effects.

Even if it is a drama, some humorous scenes in the Romanian style of ''Haz de necaz" would also be good.

And I would have appreciated some erotic but discreet passages.

Love it! It's different!
mirlamirela8 March 2023
💫💫💫When I very first started to watch this movie😒, all I had in my head was, okay, let's see, with no hope it will be something good!

💫💫💫I totally agree some parts of the serie could be avoided 😩 like the 'tãtutu' nickname😂 and some of them are lasting too much 😤- cannot say it to avoid spoiling- but overall it's a great one!😍

💫💫💫First season, ep 7 and 8 are something else!

💫💫💫It's totally different of what I've seen until now on the romanian movie production.

💫💫💫It's not Prison break or another amazing serie, it's "Clanul"! It's well done and I can't wait for more action, more actors, more locations 👏👏👏

💫💫💫Thank you! Well done 👍!

Bombsome
mvarasteanu27 February 2024
This is the best romanian series, starring some of Romania's best actors, amazing story, so many twists, so much suspense, long episodes (up to 2h) full of action and each leaves you craving for the next one. No wonder on tv they re audience leaders. The series is too good to care it s influenced by the turkish series, I can check them to see what s next until the next episode comes out every monday but i prefer to wait the romanian episodes cuz they have their own charm. It reminds me of "Vlad" somehow but way more interesting. I highly recommend it and the ones that left such low reviews are surely haters jealous of the success of this catchy series lol. We want more than 4 seasons tho.

soap opera under the hood
raduursache3 October 2022
Another wasted opportunity. Just like Vlad, Clanul is another soap opera disguised as a great drama. Its unbelievable how even with a decent budget romanian directors still can't create something watchable for anyone else but retired housewives

the first episode is great but from there, it's full cringe and horrible acting. The idea of the tv show is great but of course ruined by horrendous empty and unfulfilling moments and bad acting.

Avoid this one, you'll feel empty and just cringe at each dialogue and missed opportunity of doing something actual great.

Go watch Umbre again, this one is a waste of time.

One of the cringiest scripts ever
cqcpgb3 October 2022
After "Umbre" I expected more from Romania's cinematography. The main plot is not the worst but the writing is straight cringe, lacks realism at its finest. So if you really want to see it, brace yourself.

Also the acting is not the greatest. There are a few actors who are really "bringing" you into the action. I really like Carmen Tanase, sometimes it feels like she's carrying the whole series.

I can't recommend this to you, I think there are a LOT of better shows to watch and enjoy in the same category. But if you still do, watch it with a friend and don't take it too seriously. I think 0 expectations will make it watchable.

The Departed, poorly translated in romanian
victorvsl14 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Total ripoff of the mentioned movie, only that it takes more than 20 hours to tell a story.

I started watching the series because of the great cast it has, but I was deeply disappointed by the cringe dialogue between the characters.

I'm wondering who is in charge of approving this kind of material - we have so much potential in the film industry, but old dinosaurs are still in charge of what gets approved and what doesn't.

The romanian film industry is just as corrupt as our politicians. We'll just need to wait for another generation to grow and change those in power.

I have the utmost respect for the actors, they've done a terrific job. Too bad they're given such poor scripts to play.

Who approved this?
axmints14 November 2022
This show is a mistake. Not even close to good, not even mediocre and still not bad enough to make it watchable for laughs.

I don't even know where to start. The acting is bad but I don't think It's the actors fault but the directions they've been given. Also it might be because the script is simply just unplayable. Everybody seems cringed by what is coming out of their mouths. The main bad guy speaks like he has a brain worm or something.

The plot is ok just because it's not something that hasn't been done before. Still there are plot holes, of course.

Please, for the love of God, give us some quality content. Just because the average spectator in this country is stupid doesn't mean you can't try something more...challenging.

However if you still want to keep doing this stupid show, start by firing the script writer.

Worst acting in history
neagurazvangeorge19 February 2023
The title of the review pretty much says it all. Cheesy lines acted in the absolute way possible. Can't believe it's been more than 20 years since The Sopranos released and they're still doing shows this bad that want to copy that idea. The scriptwriters should go back to serving at McDonald's from where it's obvious they got the idea for the show. Another poor shot at Romanian television gone awry. Even after we recently got such shows as Shadows which was an infinitely better, this kind of awfulness emerges. Please go back and un-cancel that show before endorsing such bull before it pollutes more prime time TV.

Shameful! "TATUTZU" obsessively used about a 1000 times per episode is so annoying nickname that can easily be ranked as one of the most embarrassing idea in TV history
CX78-I20 September 2022
And "TATUTZU" meant to connect with an illiterate audience is just the tip of the iceberg. All characters speaking in the same voice, the constant exposition, the irrational storylines the terrible acting of the entire cast seem an exercise to disregard any rule in the storytelling theory and showcase what TV should never look like.

This series seems dug out from the prehistory of cinematography. If f this script were to be presented to a prestigious studio, it would never pass the doorman. But if you are in a market where screenwriter selection has nothing to do with your skills. But with belonging to the clique holding the industry hostage and of course, you have no respect for your audience this is precisely what you come up with. You take all the clichés from American C-rated movies, plots, character arcs, settings etc spice them up with Bollywood-style drama and you just mindlessly copy and paste them into your script. Of course, reading about new trends in scriptwriting in mature markets is out of the question. When the judging executives are as backward and uneducated as you, what difference would it make? Why do you need to know that movie storytelling has evolved and that audience expectations have changed? Like any top predator in its jungle, you keep pushing the idiotic Romanian cinematography old-school ways and presume the plot holes don't mind because the public is stupid enough to be fooled by final 'great" scenes, or that female protagonists/antagonists are just how the liberals are aiming to destroy the unparallel traditions of Romanian Movie Industry.

Inconsistent on all levels
raressh-441548 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This television series, which started with great potential, ultimately failed to deliver on its initial promise and turned into a low-grade soap opera. The script is littered with plot holes, and many of the dramatic events that occur are forgotten or ignored in subsequent episodes.

The show introduces the intriguing concept of a police mole infiltrating a group or organization, but the handling of this subplot is poorly executed. Throughout the series, the characters become increasingly incompetent, and their investigative skills leave much to be desired. For instance, despite knowing that there is a mole within their ranks, they fail to uncover their identity even when there are only a few suspects left.

One particular example of this inconsistency involves the police chief named Costoiu, who learns that there is a mole among Dima, Misu, and David. After Dima dies, the storyline is forgotten and the mole subplot is barely touched upon. Costoiu's incompetence is further highlighted when he fails to investigate who the mole is that's thwarting all his plans, even though there are only two suspects left, with David being the only one who appears suspicious.

Furthermore, the script contradicts itself on several occasions, with characters suspecting each other of being the mole for no reason or disregarding important leads without any explanation. At one point, Costoiu even suspects Silviu of being the mole, even though he already knew that only David or Misu could be the mole.

Overall, the series lacks consistency and fails to engage the audience. The entire production team, including the scriptwriters, directors, and actors, should be held accountable for this poorly executed drama. While some aspects of the show are well done, such as the initial concept, the result is ultimately a disappointment, and it's challenging to recommend to anyone looking for a well-crafted production.

Kind of lame
cipri-280395 December 2023
Made from a Turkish TV series which had 2 parts , Romanians had to make it 4 ...thats lame,season 1 and season 2 were quite good but 3 is just a mess,waste of time, cheap "drama". Shame on the producers. Now they will also produce the season 4, final one that will be released in 2024 . Actors are quite good , especially George Mihaita ( Bebe Macelaru ) and Theo Rose ( Vera ). Romanian productions are having their own "flavour" everytime ,different than other TV Shows/Series , but this one has a higher content of soap opera as another series broadcasted by PROTV called "Lectii de viata". Umbre is way better!

Good start but awful
crtzulin5 January 2024
It began nice with action but now it is just an awful show. When I want to go sleep I play this series. It is sooo boring now. Man look at other series from Hollywood not Bollywood. Even young and restless has some action and speeds up some facts. Waste of time. 2h can be compressed in maximum 45mins. When I watch it i just skip frames :))). The idea borrowed from whichever script is good but man I just don't understand how you can prolong the episode that much. Why the target of 2h of a film? And even some films that are 2h long are boring... imagine an episode of 2h multiplied by the number of season and episodes....

Bebe Macelaru is great actor along with others but I give up. No more Romanian series.... Oh no.

After "Umbre" on HBO we are getting this huge soap-opera "The Departed" wannabe.
armand-mihaies1 February 2024
Ok so this show is in my native language and romanian cinema has some great actors but the acting in this one is so stiff you could teach it at high school art classes level.

Umbre was one of HBO's biggest hits and some of the cast is present here aswell but the script is lackluster and the episodes drag for way too long and very inconsistent.

The show's pacing is way too slow and little to no action while the dialogue is over 1 hour per episode followed by 10 minutes of action at best.

This show is basically a copy-cat of the script from The Departed which was a great movie but this series is a total failure.

Skip it.
