Tomasz Schuchardt, and Ireneusz Czop in leading roles. The series revolves
around the decisions taken by higher authorities on the brink of a calamity. And
the drastic effects it has on civilians. Despite being intriguing and dramatic,
the Polish series possesses a realness that makes you wonder.


IS HIGH WATER ON NETFLIX BASED ON A TRUE STORY?

The series has such detailed descriptions that would only be possible if it were
based on real-time events. The High Water on Netflix takes into account the
events of the 1997 Oder Flood also known as the Central European floods. It is
set up in Wroclaw which was one of the most affected cities during the floods.
The plot of the series follows hydrologist Jasmina Tremer. She observes the
rising water levels that will form what is to become a devastating flood.



While Jasmina is quick on her feet and warns everyone of the impending danger,
the locals do not pay heed to her warnings.

High Water on Netflix, with its compelling performance and amazing direction, is
no doubt a good watch. But it is when you realize that the series is based
around the tragedy and real stories of people that were affected by the Oder
Flood in 1997 is when it truly hits.

The foundations of the upcoming tragedy were laid down by the heavy rainfalls in
Southwestern Poland and the Czech Republic region. This led to the overflow of
the Oder and Mava river basins that caused irrepairable damage in the two
countries. Furthermore, the flood was so devastating that it swallowed up entire
towns in its wake. The damages Germany suffered were around 330 million euros.

The series is set up in the city of Wroclaw which was home to 56 casualties.
Moreover, the deaths estimated in all three countries were around 144. High
Water on Netflix is an impactful takeaway from the calamity. It does not only
dwell only on the misery but also shows how people and the system helped each
other out.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
