Reviewers praise the series for its grounded portrayal of "Poland B"—the less-glamorized, provincial parts of the country. Critical Reception
According to reviewers at Filmweb , the series is one of the top Polish productions of recent years.
The second season (released in 2025) is often considered even better than the first, with characters like Wieczny (played by Piotr Rogucki) gaining significant depth.
