I saw the whole TV series, because my mom got hooked and we've decided we'd better watch some Bulgarian show, rather than what was on TV at the same time. I deeply regret the waste of time.
I don't know how to qualify the very poor acting, with the minor exceptions of the "old-school" actors, such as Stefan Danailov, Stefka Yanorova, Krasimir Rankov and Yulian Vergov.
the characters were shallow; the way some of the young "actors" spoke was beyond annoying; the plot was easy to predict; most of the action sequences were impossible, fake, over-dramatized and badly written- it's impossible for the character of a regular Joe to survive all the bad-ass scenes he was put through, especially when he had no training and is a spoiled rich kid! come on! some of the characters were too naively played and had no development. the whole series sounded to me as if I was watching a Korean soap opera, with the small difference that Koreans build their characters better and have a more appropriate background for them! there were good moments, when it comes to the director's skills, but at one point the whole slow-motion in the middle of an action scene became too much. also, if I've missed an episode it was never crucial and I could always see I didn't miss a thing- I'd pick up right where I left it, even though there were one or two or even three consecutive episodes I've missed.
I liked the final episode, though: first, because it was The final episode; and second, because it had a nice twist to the story in the end, though it reminded me somehow of the ending in movies like "Heist", "Flypaper" and "Flawless". this shows, once again, that we, Bulgarians, have no personal style when it comes to TV/cinema
