The Optimists (2017)
Hit and miss. Mostly miss...
I have seen great russian movies in the past with great directors, good scripts and excellent actors, so this series was a big disappointment. The script sometimes is bordering in childish. The acting may be because of the director, or the actors themselves, is sometimes appalling. It is sad, since the basic story is sound and quite interesting. The set up, costume and staging is very well done
Not interested in Series 2.
Baghdad Central (2020)
Different vision of a never ending conflict
I started watching this series just mildly interested, but I was caught more and more in the plot, even when there is an unevenness in the casting and production.I found the ending not quite believable. However, the character of Inspector al-Khafaji is well defined and excellently portrayed, reminding me of a kind of Inspector Maigret and (Swedish) Inspector Wallander. Very entertaining.
