First of all i want to underline that i am Serbian who is familiar with Serbian history. In a way this is masterpiece who show one of the most important period in our history, it show rise of Serbian country after 500 years under the Ottomans and in same time we have cultural revolution which make Serbian writing as one of most inventive. Mostly it is very history accurate but there is some missing parts which are avoid. Then we have great acting by most major character but supporting actors often spoil all that. Dialogues in a lot of major scenes are made simplified and not realistic for such a important moments. During entire series we will meet lot of historically important figures but viewers who are not familiar with history will lack information who are that characters. Simple problem is that they are usually mentioned just by first name or even not named during they appearance. Still besides all of this lacking series manage to show how hard times we had in Serbia during that period. CONCLUSION: It is worth to watch it, but you should have some book of Serbian history by your side for better understanding.

This movie have 4 parts and every is around 170 minutes long. Its based on true story of life of Joe Bonanno and it is telling all how he did see. So in some events we can notice that we heard different about it. Movie make you tied up for chair till the end, i think it is possible to watch all 4 in a row, and not notice i watched 2 in a row and 2 next day in a row. Acting in movie is OK in some scenes awesome but in general could be bather, but this movie is not about acting or special effects and glamor, this one show real thing and story is key to this movie. So the one who look for same spectacular Rambo/matrix/titanic movie you can skip this one. Good thing in movie is that follow the main story so you will not have long and boring love scenes or any different interrupt with something not important to crime business of Bonanno.
