not worthy

Warning: Spoilers
Well I tried, I really tried. I managed to watch episode 1 and 2 and then just couldn't do it anymore.

Lets put the positives, yes there are a few: -scenery. The story takes place in the beautiful Rhodope mountains and the views are really breath taking. This could have been an above average documentary if they sticked to the nature scenes.

  • the main female actress had some good moments.


And that should be all.

Now the negatives: -totally unconvincing and unbelievable. They tried and overdo it and made a mess of it.

-the act was sorry to say the least for the most parts ( but this is common for pretty much all Bulgarian series and films ) -the storyline was trying to be modern and traditional but however did not look genuine and involving.

The moments that made be stop watching it: there were two moments that just could not take it anymore.

First when the pregnant policewoman asked a mother and son if they had been romantically involved. This happens just after delivering the information that the husband and father had died.

I hold my breath but continued the second scene was when the two main actors were analysing each other.

There had to be a limit to what I can take and just that was it.

I was not able to force myself to continue it.

I wanted this Bulgarian series to hook me but did not work.

beatiful nature documentary
26 May 2023
It is a documentary with great views and very delightful for the eye.

But I just could not stand the narration. It is overdramatic, it is creating some storylines that are just impossible to leave aside and to watch the views with ease.

Like for example on episode 2 we see that the herd has left without a new-born and its mother. The narration is trying to tell us that is because the baby overslept.. I just cannot believe that is the truth and we don't know why if this at all happened.

I tried to watch it without the sound but then I miss the nature noises.. that is why I had to stop watching it. It is so irritating that makes me stop watching and write a review...

Killer in Question (2020– )
9/10
Better than most crime documentary
23 November 2020
Finally a film that engages you in it. Most of the time of the series you are wondering what if he is innocent. Thankfully there are not unnecessary dramatisations and representations of the crime. It is using only acual footage and the series are going through different point of views represented by parties involved in it. I personally enjoyed it very much and would definately recomend it to someone who likes good crime documentary. I would compare it with the first 48 though it is too early to say if it will become such a masterpiece.
