Detectives from the Holy Trinity are back and they have a new case. In her spare time, inspector Výrová focuses on a thirty-year-old case of a little child's murder in the Olomouc region. The perpetrator was arrested, but the evidence of his guilt is highly unsatisfactory. When a new witness testimony appears, the inspector re-opens the case. What did the Czechoslovak police overlook at that time, and why? (Febiofest)

Vodník (2019)
I have somehow missed all the previous miniseries, so I have some catching up to do, although I'm rather apprehensive. Monsters of the Shore is clearly considered the best, and yet I didn’t find the series very convincing. Great moments alternated with poor ones, I was annoyed by the constant effort to turn this into a work of art of the year, which was completely pointless and didn’t do the story much good. On the other hand, the atmosphere was great, so it was a shame that it wasn’t backed up by better writing so that I could give a higher rating.

Epizoda 1 (2019) (E01)
After the first episode, I have mixed feelings. Basically, I liked the episode, but I somehow feel that I wanted to like it more. Returning to old police cases generally entertains me, and this time was no different, except that the obvious effort for an artistic impression bothered me. If I were the creators, I would disregard that and focus on the story. But what do I know about filmmaking? I'm just a viewer, and even that only amateur.

Epizoda 2 (2019) (E02)
While watching the second episode, I felt much better than during the previous one, although the immense effort towards great artistry, which I honestly don't understand, was not missing here either. I still believe that plebs (including myself) would rather appreciate a simple crime story, in which instead of artistic finesse, more emphasis would be put on a more believable form of investigation. In my opinion, the summary captured it concisely and accurately.

Epizoda 3 (2019) (E03)
After a fairly decent second episode, the final part disappointed me a lot and almost earned only two stars, but I took pity. The investigation practically went haywire, and the helm was taken over by the duo of intuition and coincidence. The main insight I took from it is that I would like to serve as a policeman at the regional headquarters in Olomouc because I have always enjoyed barbecues. I was a bit disappointed that Mr. Koláček didn't offer the present company good Brazilian coffee.
