About the Series

An interesting production, that takes from the classic American road-movies and sets it in Poland, with funny and distinctive characters, from the bank robber, to the four car passengers he has to deal with, or who have to deal with him in the this ‘Dead End’ road that is different and peculiar, and will surprise with its casual and lighthearted tone.

In six episodes in which the story unfolds in its own rhythm, and where comedy is successfully meshed with action and strangeness in equal parts. This is a refreshing bet, a bit twisted but very funny.

It will not make it to the “the best series of the year” but it is high on entertainment value, and will manage to take your mind off the almost omnipresent Christmas theme and romantic comedies.
