Underground

Underground is genuinely funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. It's currently available on and , so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.

A product of nineties television at its most ambitious, Underground follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Black marketeers Marko and Blacky manufacture and sell weapons to the Communist resistance in WWII Belgrade, living the good life along the way. Marko's surreal duplicity propels him up the ranks of the Communist Party, and he eventually abandons Blacky and steals his girlfriend. After a lengthy stay in a below-ground shelter, the couple reemerges during the Yugoslavian Civil War of the 1990s as Marko sees the opportunity to exploit the situation. Predrag 'Miki' Manojlović and Lazar Ristovski lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 1995.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. Underground respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
