“Dnevnik Velikog Perice” (“The Diary of Big Perica”) is a Croatian comedy television series that continues the story of Perica Šafranek and his family, set approximately thirty years after the events of the iconic 1970 film “Tko pjeva zlo ne misli” (One Song a Day Takes Mischief Away) by Krešo Golik. The first season, which premiered on March 8, 2021, on HRT 1, followed Perica’s life in 1964 as he navigated aspirations of becoming a popular singer despite his wife Željka’s disapproval.
The second season, which began airing on December 2, 2024, shifted the timeline to 1967, immersing the protagonists in the era of the late 1960s, marked by the emergence of rock music and the initial hints of 1970s psychedelia, often referred to as the “summer of love”. This season was lauded for its authentic portrayal of Zagreb and Opatija during this transformative period, showcasing the fashion, music festivals, and cultural shifts. Key
