It's a little something from the Prima workplace. In retrospect, it's quite interesting to see who is passé and who is still acting, behind the camera or composing jingles. Otherwise, of course, it's an extremely weak affair, with more Slovaks than was usual in the region. But I like Geislerová’s courage to return to a Czech series after 12 years. Back then was the last time she appeared in the Prima season and only rarely in foreign projects. Well, today, she’s even unafraid of HBO. This awkward transition is a little thing that delights with the charm of the unwanted. Her storyline follows the rise and fall of Czech call girl Lenka Couralová in about 25 episodes scattered throughout the 84-episode series. Lenka initially flew around as a luxury escort with various clients throughout the world, and since she frequently used Central Airlines, it didn't take long for her to become involved with its employees as well. A cute romance played out between the characters played by Geislerová and Řezníček, and she had interesting interactions with Nebřenský, the young Švehlík or Bendová (at that time a very popular starlet). But when the basic story storyline about a call girl who fell in love with a divorcee with commitments was exhausted, it all went down the drain. The return of Lenka after many episodes was written as a parody of a small Czech action crime drama. Overall, the second half of the series became a parody of itself and didn't even remotely make any sense. Bohumil Klepl's solo performances feigning anger or his absolutely incredible use of well-known movie tunes have become legendary. Everyone has to start somewhere and those first attempts at making an endless Czech series didn’t have it easy. The question, of course, is whether it was necessary to try these formats and whether such a small market needs them. (2018.06.26)

The second season is practically not worth commenting on. The first culminated in an absolute unintentional parody. Fortunately for everyone on both sides of the imaginary barricade, only 34 episodes have been filmed. A few new faces arrived (the most prominent of which was former star Linda Rybová), while the already overcomplicated relationships became even more tangled ad absurdum and the whole thing resulted, thankfully for the last time, in something that perhaps didn't have to exist. An absolute waste of time. (2018.07.07)
