I'm going to post about the best Polish tv series. As a viewer I think that there are some titles produced in Poland which are worth mentioning. What is more, they deserve much more approval around the world. I would like to familiarize not only Polish speaking audience with these TV series. Soon, I will post some information about the first production. However, I still do not know which one it will be. I need some time to think it over and to gather enough material.
