Reception

edit

Andrzej Kulasek of Gazeta Wyborcza wrote, "Spadek starts off very promisingly, but then gets lost somewhere in the genre meanders, leaving the impression of a promise unfortunately unfulfilled."[2]

Dominik Jedliński of Onet Kultura wrote, "Spadek is neither funny nor decently conducted - the story has gaps and is not engaging, the script is a mess, there are bizarre dialogues and stale jokes, and the characters lack depth."[3]

Joanna Twaróg of Glamour Polska wrote, "Spadek disappoints on several levels. Compared to other productions of this genre (such as the Knives Out series), the story is highly predictable. There are gaps in it. And although it leads to a rather surprising ending, the way in which the mystery is solved leaves much to be desired."[4]
