Reception
[edit]The series received largely negative reviews following the broadcast of first episode.[16][17][18] Audience reactions were also negative.[19] Most criticism was aimed at Emma Smetana and her performance.[17] Andrea Zunová stated that it is visible she isn't an actress.[16] Negative reception resulted in a large drop in viewers between episodes 1 and 2. This led Prima to move its broadcast time from Saturday to Monday.[20]
