The series about the Miscellaneous Brigade of Romanian Communist Police has gained cult status in Romania recently, thanks to its often showing on television. Another factor for its popularity is of course the stellar cast, with some of the greatest Romanian comedians. This is why viewers forgive the implausible plot, the Communist policemen showed as good guys, the awfully underused cast, and the thin humor (most of the dialog was improvised because the director wasn't experienced in comedy!).
Still, it has a nostalgic quality, like a glimpse into a more decent (be it duller and censored) time period.
