Nevinné lži - Série 1

The episode Pod hladinou features an acting concert by the Geislerová sisters and Kolářová, and an excellent probe into motherhood from many perspectives, supported by the classic element of Luknár's uncompromising acting. It's true, Czech women still have to look beyond the borders for real men. The episode Lež má rozbité auto is on the whole an endearing comic romance, perhaps the first Dyk role in which he didn't act better than his acting partners. In the context of comedic exaggeration, one can also accept the storyline with Jitka Čvančarová and her adorable assets. The episode Druhý dech was supposed to be simply amazing in terms of how realistic it is, but unfortunately, the final social utopia and economic suicide without consequence somewhat undercut it. The episode Hvězdička is, unfortunately, weaker. Similar media phenomena are not very good for the Czech environment and are very unbelievable. And in combination with Suchoš and Voříšková, the whole thing is a total flop. For a change, the episode Klukovina works with numerous positives, though as a whole it fails to impress. Nevertheless, it does have a theme, and some of the individual characters are also good (Liška's usurper father), but it's really quite filled with schematism and coincidences. The episode Chromozom is fantastic and has the potential to become a cult classic. Tereza Brodská's lesbian is one of the best characters she has ever created, the story is topical and builds, and the supporting roles (Kubařová) are well cast. However, I will probably never understand Čermák. This is supposed to be a superman? I don't think so. Regardless, it’s the best episode of the first season. The episode Čistá práce is without a doubt about the subject of raw reality. Yes, unfortunately, that's how it goes. Wanting change is about as naive as wanting to solve the Romani question. Episode Byl lásky čas - in contrast, the whole first season culminates in an ironic comedy of three great ladies - Janžurová, Freimanová, and Havlová. It's not about superficial laughter, but all situations in life can be experienced with a smile on our faces if we give our surroundings the space to do so. (09.01.2019)
