If there were awards for the most incoherent programs or If there were the prizes for the most incoherent or strange programs, Poradnik Usmiechu would top the list of winners.

A production design as if it were extracted from the 70s, a script that mixes the "educational guide" with interviews with the cast at all times, a program supposedly aimed at children where serious insults such as St*pid B*tch and strange graphics are seen, this is Poradnik Usmiechu.

In addition, very confusing topics are explained, which are not developed or explained. A script that lacks meaning embodied in strange performances and identity censorship, a psychological fear that plays with your head, this is Poradnik Usmiechu, but it should be emphasized that you will not find any meaning in the show. While the program may convey a way of thinking, an undisciphered abstract art because of its disturbing or random images being placed is like a decay to the madness you can have.

Poradnik Usmiechu is a theory-makers' wet dream. The minimal number of clues and the incoherent nature of the plot mean you can see a psychopath holding a girl captive in his basement, socialising her on magic mushrooms and '70s VHS tapes, or a schizophrenic fever dream born of a little afternoon holocaust trauma, a runaway suicidal teenager's cry for help from an apathetic and hostile society, the crisis of growing up in the shadow of losing an abusive but loving matriarchal parental figure, the the nihilistic misanthropy of a generation disillusioned with the world at the turn of the millennium, the self-loathing and disgust symbolically displayed after a youthful and repressed sexual abuse, and... well, pretty much everything else you can come up with. It's weird for weird's sake, and we usually don't like that because it's self-serving and pretentious 95% of the time, but that's okay, because after two glasses of Polish vodka, even that's more tolerable than some random Marvel product what's being made lately.
