Rozčtvrcená (S01E01)

Right from the start, a puzzle was being solved, which seemed like a calculating move on the creators' part to attract a broad audience because people are perversely attracted by such things. We can all pretend to be empathetic and moral beings, but a violent murder or juicy tabloid article still attracts our attention. I bet that public executions would still draw large crowds today. But that's an aside. The opening episode was not bad. Unlike many thrillers, it introduced the real work of criminal investigators; there was atmosphere and tension, and most of the cast was superb, but... Occasionally, someone in the orchestra played a false note, which spoiled my overall impression and didn't allow me to give a higher rating. Especially Captain Anděl sometimes behaved like a naive rookie, which seemed very strange even to me as a layman. The captain's question perfectly sums it up: "Hey, do you have anything to do with this murder?" / Lesson learned: A good criminal investigator divides people involved in murders into two groups: dead victims and living suspects.
