So we failed once again with the Christmas Eve fairy tale, although the effort was visible. Two stars for Jeřábek and the fairy realm led by Táňa. (2016-12-25)

This year has been especially atrocious. Czech Television should consider whether, instead producing several consumable fairy-tales every year, which out of inertia households will put on simply because there’s nothing on anywhere, it wouldn’t be better to produce only one fairy-tale every other year, where they would invest more money and creative forces, and which would be watchable, maybe even several times.

It starts sympathetically, but it doesn't last long. Jaromír Hanzlík probably won't put this villain in a frame, but his fans might not curse him, because they most likely won't even recognize him, and also the main young heroes (although likable) are kind of bland. Only Lukáš Vaculík, Jitka Ježková and Táňa Pauhofová act somewhat interestingly. The idea of weapons vs. knowledge was good, but it probably needed to add more humor. (2016-12-24)
