CT 8 @ct8787 Jan 30 A gripping story all the more powerful as it’s based on a true life event. A slow burn, but wonderfully told and featuring excellent acting performances. I won’t put it at the same level as Chernobyl, but it’s not far off. I’d love to see shows of this quality being produced in Hollywood, but these days Hollywood has other priorities, none of which involve quality film making. See more Fifty T Nov 30 Starts Slow, Builds Strong, Finishes Weak: Heweliusz is handsomely crafted historical drama that doesn't quite justify its existence. Overall 7/10 - the Polish maritime disaster series starts frustratingly slow, builds genuine momentum mid-season, then stumbles through a rushed finale that denies any real resolution. Ep 1-2 test patience with deliberate pacing and excessive setup. Ep 3 finally delivers personal stakes and emotional engagement. Ep 4 is genuinely gripping courtroom drama. Then Ep 5 condenses what should be multiple episodes of trial into 81 minutes, leaving crucial plot threads dangling. The cast is uniformly excellent - Eleryk's traumatized survivor is particularly memorable - and Holoubek's direction brings cinematic scope to Netflix. Production values rival HBO's best. But after investing five hours in this tragedy, the tepid conclusion and lack of purpose feels like betrayal. It's well-made television about institutional failure that itself fails to deliver on its promise. Quite watchable, ultimately forgettable. See more Greg D Nov 17 This is a story of an avoidable Polish maritime disaster in January 1993 and its aftermath, including a biased investigation and ruthless scapegoating. Its investigative aspect remaining highly speculative, the strengthe of this 5-part mini-series is a harrowingly realistic rendition of a deadly accident at sea. The series is brilliantly directed by Jan Holoubek, special effects are seamless, and faultless acting hightens the dark suspense. Even peripheral characters are fully drawn and believable, while psychological dilemmas of the leading ones are heartfelt and absolutely credible. It has been a while since I felt so deeply engaged in a drama the outcome of which I knew in advance.

It depicts very well Poland after the fall of the Soviet Union and the western music of the time being everywhere.

Uma série que retrata fatos verídicos do acidente do navio em 1993 em meio a uma tempestade e com a morte 55 pessoas. Um fato de cartas marcadas e com vários mistérios sem ser desvendado até os dias de hoje. Uma mulher que estava no navio para Alemanha por ser uma diplomata, quais segredos guardava? Caminhões do exército que estavam carregando acima do peso e que fizeram de tudo para obstruir as investigações. Ministro querendo acobertar tudo e culpar o capitão, o mesmo a empresa do navio que faltava muitas manutenções. Falta de comunicação da Alemanha com o navio e o surgimento de um navio na rota e tudo isso não ser comentado nas investigações e a morte de um dos juizes que tinha as provas. Vários navios deixaram de prestar ajuda. E o resgate da Polônia não ir a tempo de salvar pessoas. Mistério que a série deixa com várias suposições. A série mostra todas essas possibilidades sem dar o desfecho. E de culpar o capitão e todo os resto ser absolvido. Vale apena assistir?: Boas atuações, ótima fotografia e efeitos.
