The main character is a cop who browses trough the streets and city's underground where he finds himself in a series of unsolved murders, drugs, smugglers, corrupt government officials, sex, hookers and blackmail. His Name is Marko Prilika - called Cens (Chance). Even though he's a cop, he's no stranger in a world of cocaine use and hookers.
Acting
Cvjetković's Cens is exhaustion made flesh—charisma in collapse.
Production
Zagreb as character: concrete, rain, and neon reflecting broken systems.
Writing
Naprta's dialogue bites—poetic profanity from the criminal class.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during Croatia's EU accession negotiations, the series weaponizes Zagreb's architectural contradictions—socialist brutalism colliding with aspirational glass towers. The city itself embodies the identity crisis.
Robert Naprta wrote the novels while working actual police cases; Cens's 'chance' nickname references real undercover protocol where officers drew lots for dangerous assignments.
