johnny-08 Review of Crazy, Confused, Normal

Crazy, Confused, Normal (2007–2021)

Legendary Mustafa Nadarevic is the only invite you need to watch this show

[9/10 · 7 September 2008]

Since the first episode of "Lud, zbunjen, normalan" in Croatia, this series has a cult status in my eyes. There are so many funny scenes, adventures of our main characters coupled with brilliant acting on top with legendary Mustafa Nadarevic. He plays the head of Fazlinovic family, Izet. Izet is a very enterprising pensioner who never rests, likes to invest in projects that rarely works, likes to drink and women are still his main interest, even in pose age. There is always something going on with him or around him so he is definitely the reason why this series is so popular and great. His son, Faruk owns a music studio with little profit. The only member of Fazlinovic family that actually works something normal is Damir, Faruk's son and a medical student. The name of the series comes from the main characters, being Izet (Lud-Crazy), Faruk (Zbunjen-Confused) and Damir (Normalan-Normal). They are main characters but how can I forget to add constellation of other brilliant characters like Sefika (maid), Ivana (secretary at studio), Dino (sound technician that always eats), Hadziethemcumurovic (neighbour with his line: '...inače, moj dobri prijatelj...') or Samir (relative of Fazlinovic family that always tricks them). Actors like Senad Basic, Moamer Kasumovic, Milan Pavlovic and others, with legends like Milena Dravic, Vanja Drach or Jelisaveta Sablic are all really great and memorable but the name of Mustafa Nadarevic stands alone. Mustafa is brilliant in this role and he's the only invite you need to watch this show, that has a stellar status in Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro. I just hope that this team of writers and actors will stay unchanged for many seasons to come. My grade for this one is of course 10 or like Izet would say par excellence!
