Netflix’s ‘Dead End’ (originally titled ‘Pewnego Razu na Krajowej Jedynce’) is a Polish dark comedy series that revolves around a group of strangers sharing a ride together and a novice bank robber. Accidentally, the group swaps cars with the latter with a large sum of stolen money in the trunk. When they realize that they are in the wrong car and have their hands on two million zlotys that could potentially change their lives, they refuse to let go of the money and hence, are chased by the robber.
The crime series is made all the more entertaining by the impressive performances from a talented ensemble cast, comprising Juliusz Chrząstowski, Łukasz Garlicki, Anna Ilczuk, and Jasmina Polak.
