OUR OPINION ON THE FIRST EPISODE:

The series opens with an explosive scene that serves as a common thread throughout the story. Although our initial interest in the series was limited, we were pleasantly surprised to find that we gradually got carried away by its plot. From the very first episode, we begin to feel a certain affection for the main characters. A number of plots emerge, all cleverly interconnected. Even if we had not originally planned to continue watching the series, it is now quite clear that we will be tempted by the episodes to come. We can not stay without answers!
