Hackerville (2018) User Reviews

Quality, but

[olvidiu · 6/10 · 12 November 2018]

Best Romanian series I've seen in a long time, possibly ever.

My only beef with it is some weird car rides in the city (going for long rides from one place only to end up in pretty much the same place as before when you're supposedly in a hurry - but I get that it's a work of FICTION, don't you worry about that) and some weird lines here and there. But it's really good! And it gets better and better as it progresses. The plot is unexpectedly believable.

I've seen people give this a low rating and complain that it's not based in Ramnicu Valcea (supposedly the REAL Hackerville), which is pretty funny to me since I live in Timisoara and saw a neighbour on the news getting arrested for hacking into the Pentagon server a while back but whatever. Just because it's not the REAL Hackerville doesn't mean it isn't good. It's a title. And it's just the first season. Feels like it could go Valcea at any moment.

Halfway through the season it starts to feel undercooked tho. And the ending is weird. Alright peace.

Excellent

Hoping for season two. Has a little bit of War Games the movie, little bit of stranger things. You will enjoy

Unexpected

[eu-alyn13 · 9/10 · 7 November 2018]

I saw the second season from "Umbre" a couple of days ago and I gave this one a chance. From the first episode it seems pretty catchy with good acting and a nice story, inspired somehow from the reality. After the second episode, I can say that for sure I will watch it until the end and I recommend to you also.

Great

Great series. I saw dat some people think that this is not realistic, but you don't live in Romania. This things actualy happens in Romania. This is how police act here. Everything is very realistic

Lovely series...

One of the best and attractive hacking series in era of technology... story could be better and more complete.... unlike the title and the theme that movie impose us... we can't feel enough presence of advanced hacking scenes... but characters are great ... and all recommend this series to all...

Illogical Story, Bad Acting

[julian-41172 · 1/10 · 1 April 2020]

Such a waste of time. Watching this really made us angry.

The Actress of the main protagonist Lisa is absolutely bad acting. No Matter what happens, she does not show ANY emotion in her face.

The story is too illogical, some background-stories added obviously only for some "drama". The decisions of the police team (Protagonists) are damn ridicolous.

Not talking about these "Hacking" scenes with exploding smartphones......

Extremely disappointed. ._.

Good!

Best romanian movie I saw lately, but they could invest more in special effects

Worst depiction of "hacking" in years

[mail-272-527943 · 1/10 · 5 December 2018]

This must be one of the worst scenes depicting a "hacker attack" in recent years

• with all screens showing lines of green text and servers actually exploding. I simply can't watch a show that is about hacking where the the showrunners can't even get this half-right.

Unexpectedly interesting

[aronkvh · 9/10 · 24 November 2019]

There were no bombs, terrorists, FBI, war. But they coulmake it exciting in a mid-sized city with normal cops. There weren't genius good cops, but no idiot police with smart criminal hero either. There isn't a good side with talented and a bad side with idiots like in many Tv shows. The actors weren't the best tho. Hackers weren't some international criminals, not conspirators. It feels it could neraly happen in reality.👍

Timisoara = hackerville

[alex-brodoceanu · 10/10 · 6 February 2019]

Dont really belive the other review, Ramnicu Valcea they re self proclamed hackerville, but we all know that in Timisoara they're the most smart and skilled hackers, so the location is good. Timisoara guys they shut up and do it, Valcea guys talk much and do nothing

Absolutely unrealistic, poor research!

[xxl_brain · 1/10 · 17 February 2019]

If you write a plot about hackers, you should at least get some consulting from a bunch of it-guys... couldn't be more unrealistic :( I can't bear another episode!

Interesting title, sadly thats all

[kirapwn · 2/10 · 6 November 2018]

I was intrigued when I found this title, sadly it has as much to do with real world as NCIS. If someone is doing a series about hacking, they should compare execution to Mr. Robot or higher. This series is bad to me.

A Soap Opera with a childish script and terrible acting!

[qui_j · 2/10 · 20 November 2020]

This series is really an embarrassment to any streaming site. It's impossible to understand what type of audience this would have any appeal. The dialog is childish, and the story completely illogical. The scenes lack any continuity and events just seem to happen without any explanation, back story or context. Hopefully there will be no more seasons!

Bad bad bad

[puiu · 3/10 · 17 December 2018]

Very lame story from Hbo Europe, I don't get why they invest money in such stupid scriptwriting and acting. Every depiction and action of hacking, police work, bad guys is simply unrealistic and ridiculous. A big waste of time and resources.

Very very bad.

[mamazmeilor · 2/10 · 22 January 2019]

Not that I had big expectations from a Romanian tv production, but the horrible, unrealistic script is doubled down by the ridiculous acting by Vasluianu and the female counterpart (Anna Schumacher). Watching it feels like punishment, and I can't help but wondering who spent money on financing such a ludicrous project. Complete waste of time.

Ain't good, ain't bad

[raduilie · 5/10 · 21 April 2020]

Didn't fullfill my expectations, but it's a good binge if you are bored

Great story but a wrong place

[cata_catalin-50232 · 5/10 · 5 November 2018]

The original "Hackerville" is based in Ramnicu Valcea, Romania, not Timisoara, Romania. This amazing story could be even better with the correct city that would give an ultra-realistic sense. Ten stars for the script itself and one for the placement. Five out of ten, here we go.

Râmnicu Vâlcea = Hakerville

[ovidiusiandrei · 21 October 2020]

For me, it's a romanian soap opera, with some actors, known for this kind of movies. I'm from Râmnicu Vâlcea, Hakerville is not a movie. And the theme of the movie is not the true story of Hakerville. Best regards!
