Přešlapy

A Czech series mix of Coupling and The Story of Us. It wasn't great at the time, but in retrospect, I'm no longer as tired of the cast. Every now and then we hear a good joke featuring Alžbeta Stanková and her Slovak-Hungarian gab. There are also some good pop culture references for Czech standards, and cinephiles shouldn't end up being offended. Zuzka Norisová's Radka likes cinema for the demanding viewer. (2018.08.25)

This follow-up to Season 1 isn't bad, though it's missing the opening recap. Otherwise, it's very good. Each episode stands on its own and continues the longer storylines. The actors have connected with their characters. It is good to be able to watch such an open testimony about the life of thirty-somethings in the Czech Republic. (2018.08.26)

The final season is a blockbuster one. Among the new faces, we have interesting new characters played by Myšička and Rybová. Our group goes through incredible situations, Petr gets married again, Karolína succumbs to a new passion, every now and then we stick our heads out of the usual scenery of their Prague apartments. This is a good mature drama that's worth seeing. Second chances in this form are a real novelty. (2018.09.06)
