Igapäevaelu müstika (2018)
The Mysticism of the Mundane
An interesting view into the life (approaching death) of a very very old Catholic priest, who tells us honestly (and often very rudely) about his years in the German Army, his years a spy in Vatican and his return to his native Estonia. Witty and very positive, it proves that death is nothing to be afraid of.
Õnne 13 (1993)
The Happiness Street No 13
You can't really rate this show one way or the other. For Estonians, it's like a local version of EastEnders or Peyton Place. We follow the incredibly boring lives of incredibly average folks for 25+ years, just for the sheer fun of seeing them appear on the screen. As a series, it should probably get one star; as a national phenomenon, ten stars.
Pilvede all (2010)
Under The Clouds
A hugely successful weepie drama, this is basically unwatchable if you haven't been following the storyline from the beginning. A bunch of sisters and their husbands fall for and cheat with each-other. Purest day-time soap for housewives and quite a well done one at that. The series made stars of all actors.
Mustad lesed (2015)
The Black Widows miss their target.
Never takes off despite of a large budget and a syndicated script (based on a Finnish hit TV series). A whole lot of very good actors are struggling in vain, but all you really recall, is a tremendously bad computer generated boat explosion in part I.
Kättemaksukontor (2009)
The Revenge Bureau
Fantastic hit show for almost 20 seasons, the mystery of it's success is baffling. Taking of as a "serious" crime drama, it was changed to be a girly show fairly soon and that's when it took off, creating countless fans. It's rather poorly shot and done in a great hurry, but always well written with interesting plot turns and beautiful ladies waving their guns. Great fun, if you don't expect too much.
Lõks (2018)
The Trap
Hard to say, why this falls short of a solid hit. All the components seem to be there, but it never really clicks and you won't be addicted to it. The cast is very uneven, because next to some really good actors there are rather awful amateurs, who spoil the overall impression.
Nukumaja (2017)
The Dolls' House
Not bad at all, well filmed and with good cast. Nukumaja seems to be one of these Estonian TV series, that are actually interesting to watch, even though some plot turns are too improbable and some not interesting enough and you can guess the outcome rather quickly.
Merivälja (2017)
Out of this world
Not really here nor there, this series gets lost because it doesn't know which line to pursue - sci fi, thriller or drama. The director is too concerned about getting beautiful shots, while the script is too basic and doesn't really develop into any depth. Worth a look.
Pank (2018)
Gray world
Too artsy farsty and confusing and doesn't really have a point. Good actors but bad script. Could have been better for the huge budget.
