Necrotongue

Excellent episode, in which the question of who is who is solved (which Professor Fiedler from Vienna would surely translate as a train is a train), and it shows that not all counts are the same. I really enjoyed the search for the true identity, and I also found satisfaction in seeing the insurance agents sweat, because I don't like them.

I had quite a problem with the sixth episode. I was really bothered by the fact that the creators approached it as a comedy. Although it is true that it worked excellently as a comedy, and the casting was great as well, I expected something completely different from this series. Here, I had the impression that when it comes to a Czech episode, it must be funny like in Švejk.

The Soviet episode didn't please me too much, it turned out for me similarly as the American episodes. The actors did indeed wear their uniforms diligently, but I didn't quite believe it all. The approach of the Soviet militiamen seemed quite soft to me, and although the story was quite interesting, the ending felt terribly fake.

The fourth episode suited me much more than the previous hesitant episode. True, the Emcke couple behaved really strangely, but on the other hand, after seeing German comedies and German porn, their actions don't really surprise me. Well, different country...

This time, the weaker rating is not due to the story being set in the United States, because funny Steve was not present here, but I had the impression that the creators did not focus too much on police work, rather it seemed like they focused on fireworks. The investigator was scared and I was not entertained much either.

Life in England must have been quite an adrenaline-tinged experience at the time (probably still is), when a person leaving their home didn't know if they would soon be randomly accused of any crime. After two episodes, however, I cannot shake the feeling that the first season was indeed better.

The first episode of the second season wasn't bad, but it didn't quite reach the five-star quality for me. Nevertheless, I added that fifth piece because the creators gave me a very vivid excursion into the roots of denunciation movements like MeToo. I had to appreciate that.

The first season had its flaws. I would find some in each episode if I wanted to look for them, but I don't feel like looking. It was produced in 1989, and the style corresponds to that, yet I loved the whole season.

Well thought-out finale of the first season. What the viewer has seen in individual episodes so far came together in one episode and I must admit that the creators of the series succeeded in doing so. Apparently, due to the influence of German collaborators, the rise of the Nazis to power did not manifest itself in any way, and KriPo appeared to be a normal police force (which it mostly was, but...).

If it weren't for both incredibly annoying announcers, I would rate it five stars again because the case is very interesting and the creators handled it to my satisfaction. But I really didn't understand why they incorporated those two disruptive elements into the plot.
