Review of Poziv

Poziv (2023– )
7/10
Very good ... BUT
4 January 2024
The series kicks off intriguingly, drawing the viewer into its world. Tension is built up gradually. Perhaps a bit too slow - the actual thriller begins to emerge in the 6th episode. First five episodes are are overly stretched. And, there's something not quite right - the story feels oddly disjointed and fragmented. Some aspects of the story feel hollow. It's unclear whether the problem lies in the script, direction, or editing... From the sixth episode onwards, the quality of the series significantly improves - it is tense, filled with dynamic and unexpected twists. But, the conclusion feels unsatisfactory, as if the narrative fizzled out like a deflated balloon.

Mirjana Jokovic is a diva, and I'm thrilled that she's back! However, the true star of this series is Ermin Bravo - it's been a while since I've seen such an excellent performance. Marija Pikic, playing the role of a mother who has lost her son, is heart-wrenching - her sorrow is profound, authentic, and genuine. Isidora Minic, although not making a strong impression on me at the beginning of the series, shines in the final episodes! Nebojsa Milovanovic delivers a nice performance in his role - it's both natural and authentic. Nikola Glisic is excellent - a true breath of fresh air. Djordje Mitrovic, in the role of the young inspector, is a real discovery for me - he acts precisely, naturally, and he's both charming, and good-looking. Bojana Stefanovic performs well in her limited role. It's unfortunate that she doesn't get more screen time. Borka Tomovic is excellent - impeccable diction (which is rare among younger actors), precise, and authentic acting. Jelena Puzic shines in her small role - she is spontaneous, natural, authentic, vibrant and charming. Vahid Dzankovic, as always, delivers a heartfelt, sincere, and moving performance, skillfully conveying emotions through his acting.

On the other side, Danica Nedeljkovic is very bad, to the point that it's uncomfortable to watch her "acting". Her unnatural performance and awkwardness are cringeworthy to witness. The role was probably secured and given to her through social connections, as there's no apparent reason for this casting otherwise. Ana Franic appears overly artificial and unnatural, which is quite unpleasant to watch. Uliks Fehmiu, although a great star, didn't manage to make a great impression in this particular role - his performance seems flat and lacking expression.
