Polish Netflix bestseller under fire from a theologian. “A dangerous product full of occult elements”

“Bogdan Boner: The Exorcist” once again won the hearts of Polish Netflix users. The latest, 4th season of the animated series for adults topped the website’s TOP 10 ranking. However, not everyone is happy with the success of this crazy production. One of the journalists and lecturers at the Faculty of Theology does not spare words of criticism.

“The Exorcist for less than three hundred, exactly two hundred. As with the invoice, it will be more expensive” – ​​these words at the beginning of each episode show the humor that will accompany us during this production. An animation for adults, “The Exorcist” is a parody of horror cinema and a satirical response to the realities of life in Poland. The latest, 4th season of Bogdan Boner’s adventures immediately won the hearts of Polish viewers and fans of Bartosz Walaszek’s specific humor. So much so that the series even made it to the top of the TOP 10 ranking on Netflix, where we can watch it (as of November 2 this year).

What exactly is “Bogdan Boner: The Exorcist” about? This is the description of season 4 provided by Netflix: “Boner and his crew travel to distant lands in search of the fountain of youth. Along the way, they fight demons, ghosts and other paranormal evils.” As usual, there was a play on words bordering on obscenity and absurdity, a passion for alcoholic beverages, and the desecration of every sacred thing. The construction team, not necessarily operating in accordance with the law, once again provides less than sophisticated exorcism services. Yes, “offending religious feelings” also comes into play here. And that is why the production attracted the attention of people also associated with the Christian community.

“Confusion also affects Eastern Europe.” I guess that’s great?

The Polish series was handled by, among others, journalist and lecturer at the Faculty of Greek Catholic Theology at the University of Cluj in Romania Alberto Castaldini. He decided to present the latest season of the adventures of Boner and his gang to his readers and students. In his article, he warns against a “dangerous product full of occult elements.” He also emphasizes that “the great confusion that prevails on the screens does not only concern postmodern and relativistic Western Europe, but also Eastern Europe, which is visible in the Polish series.”

The creator of the series, Bartosz Walaszek, responded to these allegations in his own style on his social media:

Well, I got it… I probably won’t go to Italy again.

Then came a quick reflection on the country of work of the journalist who, despite his Italian origins, lives in Romania. Walaszek wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t add fuel to the fire:

Friends, false alarm! It turns out that this whole Cluj guy is in Romania. They only watch Italian Netflix there.

Poles are not moved by this. They are used to it

Controversial, you say? For the creator of such cult productions as “Sarnie Żniwo”, “Captain Bomba” or “Blok Ekipa” it is just another ordinary day. All you need to do is take it easy and don’t take his art too literally. But who, apart from us, Poles, will understand his message? Free is a fair price.

The latest season of “The Exorcist” consists of 13 episodes and is currently only available in Poland. However, it is only a matter of time before fans of “The Obese Man” will become familiar with his latest adventures. Let us remind you that they are available in foreign streaming. And the announcement of the production, which is already in full swing on Netflix, can be seen below:
