Kapitán Říp

A collection of essential pearls inscribed in a random dialogue that resembles a standard self-important debate between two liberals on Facebook, who mutually boost their egos with occasional verbal jabs at a semi-literate fan of right-wing parties. If it weren't for the genius of Vyorálek, who sells it like a Vietnamese in a convenience store, I would probably perceive it as another Czech satirical fail, but curiosity won't allow me. PS: In an alternate world, people who write and produce things like this would be torn apart on all conceivable platforms. (2020.05.11)

It grabbed a lot of rhythm and the fully retarded and vulgar stylization subjectively started to function. But let's be honest, a static view of the Castle with additional voiceover as a replacement for what could be imagined in five other ways without having to be more creative than during an art lesson in elementary school is the essence of failure and (generally very) deserved hatred for this series - creative vagueness and laziness. That terrible unwillingness to go all the way, to be smart about things, and to hide creative shortcuts in cheap vulgarisms. Sorry guys, but that's not how it's done. (2020.05.18)

At times, I thought that it finally hit the bullseye, that the script effortlessly spills universal truths about the Czech nation, yet avoids groveling with a one-sided attack. Even Vyorálek paraphrases Commissioner Gordon with surprising grace. But as the culmination of ten episodes, it's shit. It didn't go anywhere, and while the point is great, it rests on a shaky nine episodes that deal with everything, but most often settle for cheap incorrectness that doesn't surpass the average troll on social media. The editing of the dialogue at the table was absolutely terrible. (2020.06.10)
