    A great source to get an idea of the 1997 floodings in Poland, aka "the Millenium Flood"
    That this show is based on the 1997 floodings in Poland, makes it all the more interesting. Taking place just 8 years after the Berlin Wall fell, we also get to see how the old Soviet bureaucracy still had a lot of influence,

    One can clearly see that much effort has been put in making this show period authentic. The cars, props and the way people dress just transport you back to the mid 90's. It is just awesome to see the cars that we were driving in some 25 years ago. This is also one of the reasons that I like for instance the highly popular show "Stranger Things", since it transports you back to the 80's.

    The dramatization of the events also include a storyline about a female hydrologist and her interaction with the government and the citizens living in the endangered areas. This storyline however is completely fictitious and is partially over-the-top. A man that she 'coincidentally' meets early on - a citizen living in the area whose father is in the hospital - leads a little uprising which just makes the story difficult to believe.

    Overall, the acting and cinematography are pretty decent. The increasing amount of internationally produced movies and shows, clearly show that quality content is increasingly able to compete with U. S.-produced content. One big gap however is still caused by the often low-quality dubbing. I myself really prefer to watch content with english dubbing - instead of using subtitles - and the english dubbing in this show just isn't realistic. The voices do not fit and the lip-movements are noticeably unsychronized with the voice.

    Summarizing, I would have preferred it if the producers would have solely focussed on the real events. I think that an alternative edit of the movie - where lots of the interactions of the woman hydrologist would be removed - would make a way more interesting show. The current 6 episodes could thereby be reduced to 4 episodes, which would make it more fit with what amount of time I would want to put in this show. Those 4 episodes would make me rate this show with 7 stars, instead of the 6 stars it deserves in its current 6-episode setup.
