"Success" is a multi-layered drama focused on powerful characters. It follows the intertwining stories of four strangers, each in some way ground down by the everyday battle of life in the city, who are bound together irrevocably by a violent event. As the consequences of their actions start to infiltrate every aspect of their lives, these ordinary people, from diverse backgrounds, decide to fight back. It's a bitter ode to the city of Zagreb, which brings a dark insight into different structures of contemporary society through life stories of regular people, which that same society pushed over the edge. Although Zagreb-focused on first glance, "Success" is a universal, layered story in which we explore the currently dominant feelings of frustration, helplessness and passivity in everyday life of a person in the region, and wider, through love, work, family, loyalty, insecurity and crime.

It could have been a pleasant evening in one of the housing estates in Zagreb, if it weren't for the fact that people who shouldn't have met each other came together, and emotions began to rise that no one could stop. On the ground was the body of the son of one of the most powerful crime bosses, and the four people who were lucky enough to survive soon understood that luck is a relative concept. HBO demonstrates its strength and advantages by giving opportunities to regional teams, and here we have the opportunity to see excellent Croatian actors and the work of a top director. However, unfortunately, the overall impression is undermined by the script, which, after a promising start to the story, increasingly reveals how much the screenwriter wants to push the story where it needs to go. In the real world, billionaires don't end up like this, and justice doesn't prevail. Overall impression: 60%.
