The second season of the superb series "Rest in Peace" started last night. This time, journalist Lucija Car (Judita Franković) disturbs the spirits in a small Istrian town. Her partner in the series is Goran Navojec, a detective from Pula, and in one of the main roles is the excellent Anja Šovagović Despot, whom we see in the role of Marija, a traditional Istrian. After the first, intriguing episode, the Istrians rebelled, dissatisfied with 'mimicking' of the accent. The team of the series has already commented on the criticism on its official Facebook page:

Dear Istrians and Istrians, do not be too angry at the pronunciation of your dialect in the series. We took it quite seriously, but we knew we would not be able to satisfy everyone. Five consultants worked on the series, mostly the best Istrian actors and playwrights. But ... neither can anyone pretend to be born with that dialect, nor do you all speak the same (put somebody from Labinj and Rovinj in the same room and listen), and neither can the series be understood by everyone, if you go all the way into the dialect. We know that some excuses will make your ears grow with that language and that melody, and we apologize for that in advance. We hope that the story and good actors will keep you by the screens after all. And for some future times and another series in your dialect - send children to acting lessons! There are not enough of them.

What's your opinion on actors take of the Istrian dialect? Do you like the series?
