South Wind

Petar Maraš is a young gangster trying to make a name for himself in Belgrade's criminal underworld, and one reckless move sets off a chain reaction that drags his family into danger. As rival factions and an unforgiving mafia boss react, loyalties fray and secrets surface. The show follows Petar as he balances ambition, street rules, and the obligations he thought he could leave behind, while law enforcement, rivals, and his own choices tighten the noose. Episodes focus on immediate consequences and escalating tension, keeping the plot tightly wound without revealing how events resolve or who survives the fallout.

Released in 2020, the series was directed by Miloš Avramović and features an original screenplay. The cast is led by Miloš Biković as Petar Maraš, supported by Bojan Lojković, Dejan Petošević, Vladimir Nićiforović, and Aleksandra Ćosić.

The show hasn’t picked up major international awards or high-profile festival trophies, and there are no widely reported Emmy or Golden Globe nominations. Most recognition has come from local audiences and regional outlets rather than from large international prize circuits.

Among viewers in Serbia and neighboring countries, South Wind became a point of discussion for its street-level portrayal of organized crime and family fallout. Its urban setting and tense, often brutal scenes helped spur conversations online about realism in Balkan TV crime dramas and encouraged interest in similar domestic productions.

Critical reaction has leaned toward mixed to positive, reflected in a 7.0/10 user vote average. Reviewers and viewers note themes of loyalty, ambition, and the personal cost of criminal life, and many point to the ensemble performances, with Miloš Biković anchoring the role of Petar. The series emphasizes moral ambiguity and the domino effect of one bad decision, making it a focused, character-driven entry in contemporary crime drama.
