Polish murder mystery. We have some of the same characters that were in season 1 along with some new ones, the principle one being the lead detective, a tough chick lesbian from the big city (Krakow or Warsaw, I'm not sure which). Like most of these European cop shows, nobody is telling the truth, they're all lying through their teeth. We get some flashbacks to the end of WW2 when the Russians are coming in. They're running out the Germans, but they are also trampling on the Poles and being pretty brutal about it. Back in the present day, which was 24 years ago (2021 minus 1997), there is a pretty spectacular escape stunt along towards the end, one part skill and ten parts desperation. The guy ends up in the hospital but that's better than the morgue. 

I don't think there were any male homosexuals in this series, which was a plus. They've shown up in just about every other show we've watched recently. I guess it's a fact of life, and probably more common on the fringes of society where most of these crime stories take place. I can tolerate it, but I would just as soon they weren't part of the show. For some reason, the lesbians don't bother me, probably because they were good looking women.
