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.

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.
Solid Show!

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.

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.
Phenomenal

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.
Probably best

Great!

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.

Exceptional!

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.
Best Balkan crime story so far
milena-balj1 January 2020
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.
THE BEST!

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!
Not as good as people talk
sanya-kostic24 February 2024
All of my friends whatched this show years ago, and finally I decided to give it a try. The idea is good, actually brilliant, the acting is also solid, especially the Albanians, but what I didn't like are dialogues and communication in general. After watching some brilliant crime shows like Ozark and Mindhunter it is very difficult to accept many unconnected series of events and situations in Besa and the way the characters act in certain moments. In real life noone would do some things. For example in the first season Uros Peric knows that his daughter is dating a bad guy who sends him regards from his enemies, and never tells her not to see him or to stay away from him because she will be in danger. Many other unlogical situations happened in Besa, and that's why I can't give it more than 6. The music is amazing though.
Good actors, bad dialogues

Impressive and Addictive
fcanes20 April 2020
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.
Finally A production

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)
Great Show
adnan_ovcina28 September 2019
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.
