After the broadcast of the first episode, the series Eliška and Damián received sharp criticism, which flooded social networks like a massive wave. However, the team behind the creation did not deal with negative reactions at the time. He mourned the loss of actor Milan Slepička, who died suddenly at the age of 84.
The kitsch and cheapness of the series really sucks
For weeks, Prima TV showed the viewers previews of the upcoming historical romance Eliška and Damián, which of course raised great expectations and set the bar really high. That was obviously a mistake. We were looking forward to it, knowing that something like this could be a welcome change after all those crime series and medical stories, especially in the presence of great actors like Dana Syslová, Milan Šteindler or Robert Urban. However, what was our disappointment after the first episode aired? Huge!
At least this is the opinion shared by the majority of viewers on social networks, where they discuss lousy acting, unflattering costumes, horrible sets and an unoriginal story trying to imitate an American romantic comedy Kate a Leopold (2001), but it does not even reach the ankles. “At first glance, the series oozes kitsch and cheapness at the same time. Although some praise the historical passage and its costumes, I just shake my head. A whole series of new fairy tales by Zdenek Troška stood up much better at this point.” is written on eXtra.cz.

The creative team was hit by the news of the death of Milan Slepička
Same website statedthat flood of negative reactions initially ignored by the creative team behind the show, for a very sad reason. A group of people in charge of series formats and successful plays such as Slunečná or ZOO would probably under normal circumstances show more interest in repairing the damage and finding out what and why actually went wrong. But such considerations had to go by the wayside as a result of the tragic news of sudden death eighty-four years old Milan Slepickawhich in the series ZOO he played the good grandfather Josef Toul from Dobrák. The popular actor of minor roles was the father of producer Lenka Hornová, the head of the creative team in question.

“We had a rather sad, reverent whole week. All meetings were cancelled, and as far as I know, also at the level of the highest management of series production. The people there withdrew into themselves and really none of them even registered during the week that there was any resistance towards Eliška and Damián. We all loved Milan, it took us away,” came from the staff ZOO.
These days, everyone gradually recovers from the initial shock and begins to notice negative reactions to Eliška and Damián. There are opinions that what the screenwriters write can possibly be ruined by the direction, camera or editing. In short, it is about the result of the work of too many people, which the creative team cannot influence from its position.
