I just finished watching first season. Very very good!

Too ambitious but very good. I like the story. The photo is brilliant. The actors are excellent. I don't like many of the actors recurring in other series, but I still enjoyed it.

The best crime story!

Fabula is very good, actors super. Really good character development. Great camera work. Would watch again and probably will. Uros Dardan Luka very good characters. Must to see this show. One of the best shows that came out in the last few years. I liked the screenplay.

This show is much better than "Ubice mog oca", it had better actors,and production is world class level.Tony Jordan is author of this crime series,one of the best UK producers and writers.

9/10 I like this crime story. There are too many expected turnovers but it is still good. It can be seen that the authors and actors struggled but I still enjoyed it. An honest approach to the difficulties of the script and production touches the viewers. I would realistically rate it with 8, but I gave it 9 cause I have high expectations from the Se2.

I like the show even though the screenplay could use some refinment.

The production is very good, scenography's is amazing and actors do their job well. I was actually very impressed with the quality of the whole show, considering its not Hollywood

I must admit i was very frustated beacuse i could find ANY kind of subtitles at all (i usally translate them on my own using a web services if i cant find good quality subs for my wife), so we ended renting it and watch without sub's. Even without fully understanding some of the dialoges as our Serbian language isnt always fluent.

If you like good gangster shows, i would recommend this as a must see.

Top production. Good story, great actors. I enjoyed season 1.

There's been a bunch of solid Serbian drama series in recent years, Grupa, 12 reci, Kosti, Drzavni sluzbenik itd., but Besa is something else, very few shows on Netflix and Amazon combine are as raw, as gripping and as well made in every regard. Sure, it's not Succession level of writing and production but in terms of pure storytelling it's outstanding, a must watch.

Exiting crime drama from the Balkans that keeps u wanting more . loved the tension between the Albanian drug lord and main character it gives a different point of view on crime than usual stories. great cast and beautifully shot. Enjoyed it watching it. looking forward for season 2.

One of the best Serbian triller-crime series, story is very very good, Rasa Bukvic acts fantastic. We are waiting for the next season.

I finished my first season yesterday. Great series. Still, I have to notice that the first half of the series is better. In the second half the actors seemed to get tired.

Edit:The second season is also very good, but I liked it less than the first. The actors are still great, the locations too. However, there was a lack of excitement that I had while watching the first season.

A very good but overrated series. I like some new actors and new solutions, the production looks good but best of all is the camera.

I finished watching season one yesterday. An excellent series with a dose of pretentiousness that spoils the impression.

Simply WOW. Amazing and well played by A.Bajraktaraj.

The plot is twisted, the storyline great. Human greed and drug trafficking combined into one and misfortune of a simple man into another. Great, amazing series!

Absolutely blown away by this tv show. Acting, characters, script, music, editing, plot, everything is marvelous!!! Dusan Lazarevic and his crew just made a masterpiece. Thank you. Hurry up with season 2 !

Exceptional series with amazing actors from whole Balkan region. So realistic and original than everything before. Having on mind that this show doesn't have coverage by major tv or cable networks also with proper marketing and promotions. Looking forward for season 2. Find all 12 episodes and enjoy, you will not regret for sure.

Great cast and captivating performance by leading actors, intriguing plot line and story; brutality for the sake of the story, not recommended for those with poor stomach or kids. The story evolves around Albanian drug lord located in Montenegro and perfectly depicts Balkan mob connections. I recon if this was in English it would have world wide audience. Hopefully it will do one day. And oh yes - great music as well. For those familiar with the culture of countries involved and notorious nepotism this would be painstaking to watch but very realistic at the same time.

Omg, this show is the best serbian show I have ever watched in my entire life! The story, the production, actors, everything is perfect! Had my complete attention through out the episodes! I can not wait for the second season!

It is a good series.

Doing a Balkan story, through various countries. With a very mixed international cast, and working in 3+ languages, is a very hard task!

So, kudos for the creators.

There is great acting, and interesting plot most of the time.

Most of those stories are very close to reality, which makes the series even better.

Said that, it seems that the need for a visual show of, and for TV suspense have stretched the camera work - it is overdone; and also has stretched the story-lines to be from heavy to heavier, without letting subtlety to prevail sometimes.

Nonetheless it is a great effort and merits an applause, especially for some of the actors (Bajraktaraj being my top love).

I'm not happy with this series. Yesterday I finished again. In one way it's great, but too many crime stories in our series get boring to me. Good actors, bad dialogues often.

Very impressive series and high quality production which immerses you in its world from beginning to end. Very original and smart story, interesting characters, kept me addicted to the end. Actors playing Luka and Una best of a strong cast. Up there with the best tv dramas I've seen.

The plot is contemporary and easy to catch. Regional scenes are cleverly chosen. Crew is international and professional. Although average of 9.7 should not be compared with 8.2 for global Game of thrones, for regional audience it might be more interesting to watch than popular global shows. For me it was ( first episode)

One of, if not the best show from former Yugoslavia. Great acting, especially by Bajraktari. Not sure of the budget but it does not look that cheap. Way way better than Ubice moga oca, which is also decent show, but this kills it with acting and scene. Can't wait for the second season if there is second season in plan.

Beats Hollywood thrillers by a mile. Just be sure to watch it on a large screen and loud sound. Complete AV experience + great story = rating 10.
