"Rest in Peace" season 3 raised the bar high

In the first episode, the arrogant son of general Koretić is shot in a folk club (convincingly shown). Although the authors (Dario Vince and Saša Podgorelec) assured us that we should not look for the key to the characters in Croatian reality, it was difficult not to see the character of general Korade and his troubled son in general Koretić, played by Dejan Aćimović.

If  "Rest in Peace" third season is the new standard of the domestic drama program, then we should be satisfied. The first episode of the new season that journalists had the opportunity to see in the cinema impressively opens and closes with the Pips, Chips & Videoclips song K1 of significant verses: "Be good in an evil world, try to stay in the light...". 

We watch the adventures of stubborn journalist Lucija Car who, completely traumatized by the events of previous seasons, hidden in the television archives, trains boxing and, willy-nilly, finds herself again at the center of criminal events - the murders of the children of Croatian rich people.

Judita Franković is completely related to the character of Lucija Car and works very well in dynamics with the dark character of the UDBA killer Mate Šušnjara (Dragan Despot), whom he plays very well, overgrown with long hair and beard.

And it is precisely the acting creations as well as the photography of Darko Drinovac and the confident direction of Goran Rukavina that are the main qualities of what we have seen. It is a real pleasure to watch Slavko Štimac in the role of Lucija's boxing coach (but not only coach) while Nina Erak, as a chatty colleague of Lucija from the television archive, is a master. After all, this is what domestic drama series should serve - to remind us how good Croatian actors are.

In the first episode, the arrogant son of general Koretić is shot in a folk club (convincingly shown).

The third season has ten episodes, and Ring production, judging by the first episode, did a great job.
