Do not be lazy.
dinoplahutnik5 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The episode was okey, pretty much standard for the show (and this kind of shows in general). Characters and relationships are being deepened each new episodes, but sometimes the conclusion or a twist in the characters dynamics is not really logical.

But I decided to write the review because of the language spoken by the bald bad guy of the episode. So, the bad guy is a Bulgarian, but the language he speaks is Croatian (because the actor is from Croatia). Both Slavic languages, but fairly dissimilar. Do not get me wrong, this is not a crucial aspect of the show, neither the show's quality gives reason to expect this level of dedication. But this kind of approach shows that the people who are making the show do not really care about the viewing experience of the customers. Get a Bulgarian actor or teach the Croatian one these couple of sentences of Bulgarian. In other words, do not be lazy.

Solid Show

As with most WC episodes, there are a few plot holes and inaccuracies about the local cultures.. But overall very entertaining.

Bulgaria portrayed wrong!
bossa-1461912 April 2019
In all honesty I love the tv series and every episode so far excluding this one. I am born and raised in Bulgaria and I can tell you that the portrayal of my country wasn't at all good excluding the fact that all of this is fiction. First off all none of the names of the characters were bulgarian but pure russian, second of all it's planina(mountain) not pranina, third of all the police is nothing like that, I did not know any of the songs played, the lines including bulgarian language were not clear and I could not understand them and much more. The episode was good, I liked it. But the problem is that in previous episodes the countries were portrayed more or less in the way they are. Bulgaria was not, you just made it look like a cheap copy of Russia which it most certainly is not as we have little in common with them.

American ignorance at its finest
boyannah26 November 2020
Although it's clear that this show is for fun only and has no pretenses to be anything more, I still find it ridiculous that its creators couldn't at least google which language is spoken in Bulgaria. The characters that are supposed to be from Bulgaria speak, for some reason, serbo-croatian. It's an entirely different country, people! It's as if the characters from France would be speaking Italian. But, since it's a story about "bad eastern European people", who are in American cinematography constantly portrayed as savages, I guess the idea was that no one will think twice or care, even if they noticed this gigantic mistake. Sad and very ignorant, since the people of Eastern Europe were at a very high level of education and culture long before America was even discovered.

disappointed and unhappy
mariaivpet29 August 2019
So... I didn't whatch the episode to the end. I didn't recognize a single Bulgarian word. I agree with the opinion of bossa-14619. You had to work harder. At least you have used any Bulgarian song, not that there is anything wrong with Romanian ... I usually enjoy whatching the episodes, but not this time.

Inaccurate information
donkaatanasova20 April 2020
I started to watch the episode with enthusiasm to see how my country will be portrayed. At the end I was so disappointed to see how inaccurately the information was presented. You should pay more attention on the details and add elements from the real culture of the country including language, nature and folklore.

Disappointing
cvetenceto-9424812 March 2022
This wasn't Bulgaria, this was some fictional country. I was laughing the whole time. They weren't speaking Bulgarian, everyone was speaking a different language. Even the music that was supposed to be Bulgarian wasn't. 😂 😂
