Review of Deca zla

Deca zla (2023– )
8/10
Emotional thriller: overhyped but definitely worth watching!
15 November 2023
Suspenseful, emotional, yet doesn't lack funny moments.

The storyline unfolds at a somewhat slow pace, yet manages to captivate the audience's attention. What sets "Deca Zla" apart is its deliberate avoidance of explicit sex scenes and the absence of gratuitous violence - a refreshing departure from the prevalent trend in contemporary Serbian cinema, which often leans heavily on showcasing excessive bloodshed and nudity.

A significant flaw lies in the predictability - by the 7th episode, I accurately predicted almost every twist and turn.

Radovan Vujovic delivers an outstanding performance. Jana Milosavljevic is impressive, flawlessly sheds her Eastern European accent. Her performances in this series is truly noteworthy. Nikola Kojo, as expected, delivers a consistently strong performance. Ana Franic, in her limited role, shines brilliantly. Mihailo Laptosevic, who takes on the role of the antique dealer, might have a limited time on screen but his performance exudes authenticity, warmth, and brilliance. Emina Muftic, portraying Munevera, is truly enchanting.

On the other side, Anica Dobra is a major disappointment. Jovana Stojiljkovic seems to fall into the trap of consistently displaying the same facial expressions and diction, as if she is perpetually playing the same character, regardless of the role. And does she really need to be featured in a sex scene in every film or show she appears in? Milica Janevski is good, but sometimes overacting. Slaven Doslo - his acting skills seem ... lacking.
