The Dark Secret

Hats off to the team behind the making of this worthwhile documentary. It finally brings to light, using modern investigative methods and scientific disciplines, what most of us have suspected. Fairy tales are not what they seem.../// I wrote my review before watching the third season which was a huge disappointment. The creators clearly ran out of ideas and went down the path of corny and crude humor, burying all that was good about this series. (12/11/2016)

Season 1 was a good one. I enjoyed all the stories, only Episode 5 fell a bit short. Anyway, I love the idea of finding the “truth” in traditional fairy tales using modern science and forensic techniques. I hope the second season will be just as great. (16/11/2017)

Where are the constant discussions about the "scum" digging? Finally, everyone learned the truth about the hyperactive rascals who first stripped the helpless pensioner of her house and then burned her as fossil fuel. (12/11/2016)

Monstrous practices of the trio of drug smugglers that came to light thanks to modern investigation methods. This mentioned trio hesitates at nothing when it comes to brutally killing defenseless animals for financial gain. Disgusting! (12/11/2016)

Season 2 was very unbalanced. After the first three episodes I was expecting this to be a total disaster, but a very strong middle part saved the situation. The episodes with a fairy tale theme were my favorite. I also enjoy criticism of religion, but it has to be done in at least a slightly tasteful manner, otherwise it doesn't work for me.

The creators have already shown better pieces. I smiled a few times, but they didn't manage to really make me laugh this time. When I saw the number of episodes in the second season, I hope that the quality will improve, otherwise it could turn into a decent disaster. (09/11/2017)

It is already quite clear that the second season does not even come close to the previous one. Intelligent humor has gradually disappeared and has been replaced by a strange substitute that Master Troška favors. Nevertheless, I have been patient with the decline so far, but if the creators come up with something similar in the next episode, I will not hesitate anymore. (26/11/2017)

This time the creators of Frozen Secrets did a great job, I really enjoyed it compared to their recent disasters. It's probably not a coincidence that the evil fortune teller reminded me of Helena Bonham Carter. (07/12/2017)

No, this episode certainly did not belong among the very best ones and I would rate it with three stars, but it played on my favorite string, so I had to add an extra piece. The whole funny story about the birth of the greatest carpenter has always seemed fishy to me, and J.K. himself looked like Ken, which amused me and surely pleased the church dignitaries and puritans. (21/12/2017)

I haven't decided to throw it away! but that one star has a big minus behind it. I didn't enjoy this story at all and, to make me laugh, the involvement of Lukáš Pavlásek really isn't enough. The scriptwriters were probably in a hurry because the story looked like it was put together right before the deadline. Barren and boring. (05/01/2018)

The Dark Secret really goes to show that less is more. The creators have obviously fired their best ammunition in the two previous seasons. There were only two episodes that I found worthwhile. I was sick and tired of the rest. (19/05/2018)

No, I don't know, I didn't really enjoy the first episode of the third season. The creators have already proven to me that they can create worse episodes, but I know they can also create much better ones and I would be glad if they returned to those higher quality ones. The humor they used this time reminded me of Mistr Troška, and that really spoiled my mood. (03/03/2018)

I have a feeling that the third season of Frozen Secrets is gaining unstoppable water and will soon sink. As a critic of any church, I could rejoice in digging into my opponents, but the creators would have to show at least a minimal sign of taste for me to appreciate their effort. This way, I did not appreciate their attempt with garbage just because I am waiting to see what they come up with next. (09/03/2018)

The freezing secrets used to be a series that I enjoyed at one point, but especially lately, it's been going downhill with them. It's strange that even though they choose politics or flankeys, which I don't like (a huge understatement), the handling of the topics doesn't interest me too much, it's too much of a "nitpicking" for me. (16/03/2018)

I happily rated the fourth episode of the fourth season with four stars, because I enjoyed myself after a long time at Frosty Mysteries. The creators finally avoided bathroom humor, which was so successful in the last episodes, instead they caught my attention with a well-founded investigation and great choreography by Vlastík Plamínek. (30/03/2018)

No, it is certain now, the creators of Frosty Secrets are on the verge of freezing. It seems they had already ventured out of the best and I think it is time to end the whole project before it reaches the "level" of TV Barrandov's production. Nevertheless, I found a positive moment in the sixth episode, immortal Horst Fuchs delighted me and made me reminisce about the golden era of teleshopping in the nineties. (16/04/2018)

This was an exemplary example of pretending to make fun of oneself to divert attention from the fact that the excellent show gradually turned into a pile of warm intestinal waste. I secretly hope that the creators of the show have ended it with this episode to prevent unnecessary violence against innocent humor. (16/04/2018)
