About Feedback
Feedback, known in Polish as Informacja zwrotna, is a Polish limited drama-thriller released on Netflix in 2023 and adapted from the novel of the same name by Jakub Zulczyk. Directed by Leszek Dawid, the five-episode series centers on Marcin Kania, a once-celebrated rock musician now living as a recovering alcoholic. When his adult son disappears without explanation, Marcin is forced back into a past he has spent years trying to outrun, and the search becomes as much an excavation of his own failures as a hunt for the missing young man.
Structured around fractured memory, the series moves between the present-day investigation and Marcin's recollections, many of them unreliable or clouded by years of drinking. As he retraces his steps and confronts family members he has long avoided, the narrative gradually reveals how addiction reshaped relationships and rewrote the story Marcin tells himself about who he was as a husband and father. The thriller elements remain tightly bound to this psychological core, with each new piece of information forcing a fresh reassessment of earlier scenes.
Anchored by a central performance from Arkadiusz Jakubik, Feedback was positioned as one of Netflix's higher-profile Polish original dramas of its year and drew attention for its unflinching treatment of alcoholism, denial, and the limits of self-knowledge. Rather than offering easy redemption, the series keeps its focus on accountability and the slow, uncertain work of facing what one would rather forget, set against a contemporary Polish backdrop.
