The Mire

Poland is once more reaching for the European quality and presents a 5 episode long miniseries remarkable by its 80’s atmosphere, acting performances at a high level, where you have to root for two detectives even though there is nothing remarkable about them and added to it all is a murder which is entwined with political intrigues which then open the door to the unknown past of local Polish politicians. For me, it was a great experience. (01/09/2020)

Enšpígl et moi sommes toujours d'accord pour dire que nos Polonais adorés sont capables de produire de sacrés films et séries télévisées. Eh bien, la série The Mire rejoint, elle aussi, le panthéon des meilleurs films et séries. Une petite ville de la Voïvodie de Petite-Pologne cache des secrets anciens et terrifiants, en particulier dans une forêt sombre dès lors qu'il s'y produit un double meurtre. Les deux journalistes sont tellement sympathiques que quand on se met à leur place, on ne peut pas se sentir à l’aise. Les créateurs ont assuré également en ce qui concerne la BO. (11/07/2020)

This series won me over from the very start by how excellently it captured the atmosphere of my childhood. Otherwise, after the first two episodes, I was having doubts because the theme was appealing but the story seemed a little bland and slow-paced. Fortunately, the third episode brought a change, the story picked up momentum and the following two episodes convinced me of a high quality. If you are on the fence after the first two episodes, hang in there, the following three episodes are definitely worth it. (29/08/2020)
