Per the title of this review, the cultural references go over my head. I know nothing about Polish history or culture so I'm left taking these things at face value. There are times where I am watching a scene and I really get the feeling from the actors' body language or brief "pause for effect" beats that *this* was supposed to be a comedy moment, but I've not realised. Not really the show's fault, it's my lack of experience of Polish stereotypes. The things that make me chuckle are the things that relate to modern day issues but given an 18th century twist, or that have barely changed at all. It's not totally hilarious to me and not something that I go out of my way to watch, but it has amusing moments, so it's okay.
I preferred Norsemen as a show, perhaps it's the mockumentary style of this one that doesn't quite hit the spot for me.
