“Night Operator” debut โLacks Spark despite Familiar Faces
The premiere of “Night Operator” on โคPrima+ inโ 2025 features Lukรกลก Vaculรญk โขalongside Elizaveta Maximovรก, but initialโฃ impressions reveal โa critical absence:โฃ tension. Despite an intriguing premise and a cast including Ondลej โRychlรฝ, Lenka โขVlasรกkovรก, Jiลรญ โฃHavelka, Lenka Krobotovรก, Jan Rรฉvai, Robert Nebลenskรฝ, and Ondลej โMalรฝ, the first โฃepisode struggles to build dramatic momentum.
The series introduces Iva (Maximovรก), a former patient of the protagonist, whose โขhereditary heart defect โคand impendingโค surgery forโ her unborn child present a possibly compellingโฃ storyline. However,โ the review notes that the drama feels delayedโค andโ underdeveloped, resulting in โa slow start. Critics currently rate the episodeโฃ at 50%, suggesting aโ promising โcast and settingโข are hampered by aโฃ lack of immediate engagement. Directedโ byโค Jitka Bรกrtลฏ, “Night Operator” will โneed toโฃ quickly establish aโฃ stronger narrative driveโค to captivate audiences.
