Besa

2018 · 2 seasons

A tense, morally fraught crime drama where every promise carries deadly weight and family loyalty is tested.

Overview: Besa is a strong promise for the Albanians, which must be maintained, even at the cost of living. It is most often used in the form of blood feuds, which is certainly a suitable ground for the action of the series that is in front of us.
How it feels: Dark, tense, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Family, guilt, loyalty, crime
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
