Review of Nestali

Nestali (2020– )
8/10
They Are Not Forgotten
23 April 2021
An interesting and tense series that takes place during the military operation Storm, an operation in which the Republic of Croatia liberated the territory that was under the occupation of Serbian forces.

Director Kristijan Milic has already proven to be a great filmmaker, who not only knows how to shoot great action scenes, but also knows how to create a tense atmosphere. With a good director, even mediocre actors look good because he gets the best out of them, so the acting in the series is quite decent.

The sound is interesting, and although it could be even better, the soundtrack is well used to create an ominous atmosphere that gets more and more tense as the series progresses.

Some things could be much better, but when compared to the rest of Croatian production, this really looks great. So I will still give the series the highest rating, regardless of the shortcomings, because here obviously the production has invested a lot of effort. The acting varies, but as I've already pointed out, even mediocre actors look good with a capable director.

The appearance of the army is authentic, as are the equipment and markings. The locations are carefully selected, and the series is excellently directed and gives the viewer an interesting insight into a unique situation.

The real people were the inspiration for the characters in the show. The series is the story of brave people who defended their homeland. They are not forgotten.

Good action scenes, tense atmosphere, interesting characters and an excellent soundtrack.
