The series "Niçe" came as a new breath of fresh air in Albanian cinematographic productions. The series was broadcast on Top Channel and YouTube and the comments were quite positive, due to a new approach, where the main character is a "failed" man, with situations full of humor, but which also make you put your finger on your head and think long and hard about the choices in life.
Why should you watch "Niçe"?
The main character, the antihero of modern times
Niçe, played by Brendi Bega, is a unique character that we have not usually seen, especially in Albanian cinematographic productions. Niçe is a typical Albanian boy, who is "99-ç", has a joke and a response on the tip of his tongue, is smart, lazy, messy and many times, unbelievable. Exactly all these "qualities" make him a fantastic and unforgettable antihero!
2 boys, each with their own "quirks"
Let us introduce you to:
Red – A friend to the head, but only to a certain extent!
Kuqo is also a pretty interesting character and manages to steal attention in every scene he appears in. Margent Caushi has "put on the mantle" of a proud, refined character and never tires when it comes to schemes.
Niko – the 32-year-old realist
Niko (played by Silvio Goskova) is the most realistic character in this series and always gives everyone a "reality check". He brings the kids back to the real world and down to earth. Niko is like that lump of conscience that sits on your shoulder, but he doesn't have much patience.
Surprises every week – stories and VIPs!
Episodes of “Niçe” always introduce new characters, unique stories and performances that grab attention. Their characters do not need much screen time to be remembered by the audience. Relatively young actors like Donald Shehu, Urim Aliaj, Joana Omeraj, Kejdi Gishto, as well as well-known actors like Ervin Bejleri, Neritan Liçaj, Marin Orhanasi and Renada Ceci have come together to build humorous and often profound situations.
“Niçe” also brings surprising characters, whom you do not expect at all. Egla Ceno, Kastro Zizo and Ledion Liço come in surprising and pleasant roles. Their appearances are very spontaneous and very often funny. Do you remember the surprise guests on “Friends”? The same vibe!
Moreover, the characters develop. In the series “Niçe” another problematic of Albanian films and series is to some extent regulated: Character development. In the series, the characters face different situations, philosophize, breathe in the same reality as us, and grow and develop. The personalities deepen, involving you in different themes and complex issues that we experience every day.
Get the kids away from the screen! Humor is for adults
We've often said it: Albanian films and series suffer from good dialogue and jokes. Fortunately, the series' antihero is not afraid of the truth at all and always says things bluntly. His humor is for adults, has no filters and always comes across as annoying. Bravo for the courage, because let's be honest, no one talks to friends like an academic.
What is the genre?!
From one episode to the next, you think you're in a comedy, then, in a therapy session. The series has an unexpected pace and you're always curious to see what will happen in the next episode.
Color palette
Now, to be honest, the photography and color palette also matter a lot in a series. Urban lighting brings us a more vivid perspective and clearly, the scenes are carefully thought out. In the series “Niçe”, Tirana is not just a city and a background that becomes “blurred”, but a metropolis that has its own character.
Continuation of the series
For people who like series that don't interrupt the story in the middle and leave you in suspense, we have good news! The story of "Niçes" will continue, because the guys have already allowed us to live in their small, very interesting universe.
