The Miklósi family have a life anyone would envy. The father, Attila, is a prosperous entrepreneur; the mother, Janka, does voluntary work at a charity for the homeless. Mira, their daughter, is top of her class and even the rebellious black sheep, Márk, is talented and is planning a career as a rapper. Their easy living, however, is just an illusion. It conceals some very well-kept secrets – they have a massive bank debt, their luxurious villa actually belongs to a friend in gangland, and they maintain themselves by all kinds of tricks. When things start getting too much for Attila and he resolves to mend his ways, the family's idyll is shattered. As we see, everyone has different ideas about how they want to get on in life.
In the smash-hit first season of the series, the Miklósi family lived a life of apparent luxury, although their affluence was actually derived from the father's repertoire of dodgy capers and scams. When Attila made up his mind to go straight, however, everything was turned upside down. It soon emerged that everyone had different plans for the future, and the family fell apart. In season two, the Miklósis have to start over from scratch. Or maybe from a point that is even lower than that. Each is haunted by the past and none of them can put off facing up to the consequences of the decisions they once made any longer. Why did Attila choose to leave the straight and narrow path all those years ago and is there still any prospect of his being able to start afresh with a clean slate? What is the price that Janka is willing to pay to maintain their standard of living? Can the examples set by their parents ever be erased from Márk and Mira's minds or has the chance of becoming normal teenagers been denied them forever? The members of the family must now deal with more serious problems than ever before. An old friend, believed to be long-dead, reappears in Attila's life, although it soon transpires that he is not what he seems. Ever since he turned over a new leaf, Janka has been unable to respect her husband and now she determines to make an irreversible move. Márk starts his own business, but rashly takes too great a risk. Mira finds love and then instantly loses it again, resorting to desperate means in an attempt to come to terms with her hurt. How can we live with our guilt? How can we deal with our responsibility? Through the story of the Miklósi family, the profusion of opportunities in post-communist Hungary is revealed alongside the disappointments in store and the possibilities for starting a new.

Semmi sem számít, csak az, hogy ki vagy (2018) (S03E01)
I want to comment on the third season as a whole, despite the fact that I haven't noticed the slightest hint of a plot yet. In my opinion, the second season had much better opening credits. The first episode didn't fully convince me with its storyline. I don't know if I simply enjoyed the struggle for a "better" life of the Miklósi family. The creators somehow failed to captivate me this time, even though (or maybe precisely because) they provided the family with financial means and political ambitions. I don't know; I just wasn't feeling it. Hopefully, my opinion will change as the story progresses.

A rock and roll az nem egy tánc (2018) (S03E02)
It's not hitting the mark yet, I guess. Both previous seasons seemed more believable; the plot of each episode and the overall story really got me hooked. However, after two episodes of the third season, I'm not sure what to think. The main focus is on the righteous Mira (well, except for the destroyed pub), politics, and the billion-dollar business. However, I'm missing an insight into the lives of average criminals with all their futile efforts and intricate family relationships. I can't say that I was bored, but so far, the Hungarian filmmakers haven't offered me anything in the third season that I would consider above average. / Lesson learned: Children are a lifelong joy.

Egyedül fél ember vagy (2018) (S03E03)
I'm still struggling to tune into the events of the third season. The third episode turned out to be the most boring of the first three, and I was initially inclined to give it a higher rating, but the events around Mirina felt almost like a parody. I'd be lying if I said that was the only thing that bothered me. So far, what I've seen from the third season seemed overly complex, and the lightness that I got used to in the previous seasons isn't there anymore. It's a shame to change something that works just to make it "bigger, better, faster, more."

Vakfolt (2018) (S03E04)
In the previous episode, there was some improvement that continued into the fourth episode. In both cases, however, I didn't like the way the creators developed Mirina's storyline. Sure, almost anything is possible, but it feels extremely unnatural and contrived to me. On the other hand, the return of Muslim refugees to Serbia was absolutely hilarious. Considering all the pros and cons, the fourth episode was the best of the third season so far. However, it's still not enough for me to give four stars. 3*+

Jégkocka (2018) (S03E05)
It annoys me how, in almost every American action movie, a woman weighing around a hundred pounds fights a tough six-foot guy and ends up winning the fight. That's why I was genuinely pleased with the fifth episode. Mira, whom I had only negative remarks about in the third season so far, really blew me away. This was pure hopelessness and coincidence. Except for that Turkish execution, of course. I also liked the rest of the episode, so I'm giving it five stars. / Lesson learned: When you have the monkey's paw, be careful what you wish for.

The episode was eventful, no doubt about it, but it didn't draw me in as much as the previous one. Nonetheless, the creators crafted a decent atmosphere, introduced several intriguing twists, and maintained a sense of humor — especially when they transformed Mira into G. I. Jane. This episode also proved wrong all those who claim that you can't be sure of anything in life. You can always be sure that someone will betray you.

Dolgozni rémes (2018) (S03E07)
Childbirth has apparently become a fun family event, where the extended family gathers to support the mother with their presence, offer various advice from the internet, and enthusiastically take photos and videos throughout. While I have noticed this trend, it doesn't mean I ever desire to be a part of it. However, Hungarian filmmakers ignored my wish and subjected me to almost fifty minutes of complicated and action-packed home birth. At times, the absurdity reached levels that had me laughing out loud. Otherwise, it was a "masterpiece" in which all secrets were revealed and all misunderstandings explained in a casual way. In other words, / Lesson learned: Always bring the keys to an expensive car for childbirth.

Karma (2018) (S03E08)
I'm not very fond of series where the protagonist isn't exactly a good guy because the creators often decide on a fairy-tale ending, perfectly ruining their prior efforts—much like they did with Dexter (twice!). So, I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that this show took a different approach. I wanted to give it three stars, but I had to add a fourth for the original conclusion. / Lesson learned: Physiotherapy can work miracles (personal experience).
