Everytime i watch a bulgarian production, i always expect something trash with minimal budget. This is not the case here.
Let's start with the writing. The writing is in my opinion the best thing about the show - good characters and incredible plot.
The visuals, on one hand are pretty descent, particularly the direction but on the other hand there are some bulgarian clichés that lessen the experience for me. For examples - flashbacks, loud sound effect, needless timelapses and so on. Also the effects here are amazing. I didn't think that a bulgarian production would have the budget for explosions and well choreographed fights but there are some computer-generated effects that i didn't really like. For example - a blood splash when one character is being punched, that looked like a blood splatter green screen video from internet. Overall, i am very surprised with the visuals.
The acting here is... maybe the worst part of the sow. Don't get me wrong - Mihail Bilalov, Zahari Baharov and some other actors are spectacular but the lead in particular is wooden as hell. It's like he only has one emotion..
Overall i am blown away by how good these TV show is. Altough it has some flaws, it's still a bulgarian production and i expected that. If you haven't watched it, definetly give it a shot.
