The management of once-famous and maybe even classical Dejvice Theatre is faced with an unexpected and essentially existential trial. The cultural institution is denied a grant and finds itself in a situation when the members are forced to care for themselves, i.e. round up money for its operation while maintaining their artistic ambitions. That is the premise of a comedy series whose main and only protagonist is the troupe of the Dejvice Theatre inevitably headed towards its doom. It’s a mystification using elements of absurd and black humor and inspired by the poetics of this very theatre. – This six-part series stars all members of the theatre company as well as other staff members, relatives and friends. And yes, everyone stars as themselves. (MFFK Febiofest)

I have rather mixed feelings about the series. I was really looking forward to it, but I didn't get as much fun as I'd expected. There were far too many cringeworthy moments in the story, balanced out by excellent ones, but there should have definitely been more. Well, I won't get overly critical, because Miluška looked determined, and I don't want to end up like Dráteník.

Dejvické divadlo was terribly damaged by the staging of Most! right afterward, even though it's a completely different type of comedy and humor, people probably stopped watching after the first episode and only the hardcore fans remained. However, I must add that I am not a fan of this group of actors, I saw Čtvrtou hvězdu, but it didn't impress me and The Ruin of Dejvické divadlo only deepened my misunderstanding of the absurd humor that Miroslav Krobot and co. perform. Two episodes were even completely over the line, although I did laugh at some gags in the contrary. For fans who devoured Dabing street and co. like raspberry, of course, a Must (and their comments have been hanging here since last night), for the rest just a cautious recommendation.
PS: Jaroslav Plesl even reminds me terribly of David Tennant with his acting style.

A sympathetic game with the viewer, which provides a lot of funny situations and jokes in every episode. The Dada style, which was expected in the 90s mainly from the Sklep Theater and which the actors took right down to the bottom and compromised in the following two decades. The Dejvice team is incomparably more professional and has greater self-reflection and creative potential. I like this style and if the Dejvice team had avoided weaker moments in the script, it would deserve five stars. But even so, the series stands out in Czech productions like a lighthouse over the ocean. Overall impression: 85%.
