Episode 1 (S02E01)

After more than two years, I'm returning to the story of the unfortunate Serbian, Uros Perić, only to discover that his life hasn't improved much since the last time. The creators brought back their perfect atmosphere and intricate storyline. After such a long hiatus, I had to reacquaint myself with each character, and recognize new faces, and for a moment, I was puzzled by why Finnish was spoken sometimes, until I realized it was Estonian. The main character's plight reminds me of that farmer who toiled on his field every day, slowly losing everything - his wife, his barn struck by lightning, his well drying up - yet he patiently endured his fate. But one day, as he plowed his field, the plow broke on a boulder, and his ox fell exhausted. It was then that the farmer fell to his knees, hands raised to the sky, and cried out: "Lord, why do you send one blow after another to me? Why must I suffer so?" And from above, a powerful voice echoed: "I don't know, you just kinda piss me off." / Lesson learned: If you're out of luck, maybe hold off on buying that lottery ticket. (04.03.2024)
