BringBackAlice (also known as #BringBackAlice and Bring Back Alice) is a 2023 Polish crime drama television miniseries. It was released on Max on 14 April 2023.
Alicja Stec, a popular social media influencer in Tri-City, goes missing. A year later, she reappears, but with no recollection of the previous year. Tomek Bielecki, a local drug dealer, suspects that Alicja's disappearance may be connected to the disappearance of his sister, Weronika.
Natalia Nowecka, writing for Radio Eska, considered the series overly derivative of American teen dramas and called it "masochistic entertainment" made by "creators [that] are almost ashamed of their Polishness and try to hide it at all costs".[4] Małgorzata Major of Wirtualnemedia.pl praised the show's casting, but found the show formulaic.[5]
Zuzanna Macieszko of Ciąg Dalszy Nastąpi, a student publication of the University of Gdańsk, concluded that the show was "a Polish version of Euphoria mixed with Elite". She praised the actors' performances, especially Sebastian Dela, who played Tomek Bielecki, and the show's setting in Gdańsk, but found the language used "formulaic" and the imagery unrealistic.[6] Tomasz Zacharczuk, of trojmiasto.pl, criticised the show's dialogue, calling it "pure torture", and said that the series takes a "TikTok-esque approach" which would appeal to teenage audiences.[7] Maja Mikołajczyk of NaTemat.pl said that the show is enjoyable due to its "visual appeal", but compared the acting to "androids pretending to be humans".[8]
