[[caption-width-right:392:Left to right: Natalia and Majka.]]
Two young Polish woman, Majka and Natalia, meet again by chance while at the airport. It transpires that they were once girlfriends, and clearly the two still have feelings for each other. Flashbacks reveal how they met, and though both of them are now seeing other people, they're still drawn back together.
''Kontrola ("Control" in Polish) was originally a web series. It ran from 2018 to 2022.
!Tropes:
* AffectionateNickname:
** Natalia fondly calls Majka "my Maja". Her friends also call her Maja. She's also called Sunshine by Kuba, one friend she has, as well.
** Weronika is always called Wera by everyone she's friends with (like Majka) and her boyfriend.
** Franek is only called by his full name a couple times at his wedding. His friends call him Anu, as does his girlfriend (later wife) Wera.
* AnachronicOrder: The series switches in between the present and past. It shows how Natalia and Majka met, the two became a couple, broke up then got together again later.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Natalia's mom warns her against getting herself into a relationship with Majka, who's expecting a baby, thinking this. She had Natalia for Natalia's father-it just made all of them miserable together for a long time. [[spoiler:Nonetheless, though Natalia isn't interested at first, later it seems she and Majka might get back together. Natalia by then has grown fond of Majka's daughter.]]
* ClosetGay: Majka is not out to her family as bisexual for a long time.
* ComingOutStory: Majka at last tells her dad about loving Natalia, which he's accepting of, after her sister [[TransparentCloset already figured it out]].
* DrowningMySorrows: Natalia drinks heavily at a bar when she's miserable pining for Majka. After she breaks up with Paulina, Natalia also has to get her as Paulina's gotten very drunk and is outside on an icy bridge.
* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Majka at first goes to have an abortion when she gets pregnant accidentally. However, it's obvious Natalia is the one who's driving this more than her. Majka always wanted a baby someday though, so belatedly she decides she'll keep it. The option of abortion however isn't shown as bad by the narrative. Polish law very heavily restricts it though, so they were crossing over to Slovakia.
* HairContrastDuo: Brunette Natalia is reserved, more unfriendly and prone to being morose. Redhead Majka is quite open, almost always friendly and smiles most of the time.
* ImportantHaircut: After she loses her best friend in a car accident and is very depressed due to this, Majka cuts her long hair short as a means of self-renewal.
* KilledOffscreen: Season four starts with [[spoiler:Kuba]]'s funeral. He was killed in a car accident due to taking a tax with a drunk driver, realizing it only after too late.
* LanguageBarrier: Natalia's mom brings her Italian boyfriend for Christmas. Since he doesn't speak Polish but knows English other people use it with him sometimes.
* LingerieScene: Natalia and Majka are both shown in their bras at times.
* LongingLook: The long, soulful pining gazes that Natalia and Majka give each other even when they aren't together (or indeed, are with other people) tip off multiple people on how they truly feel.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple:
** Natalia is a bit of a tomboy, while Majka's quite feminine and they have a long on/off relationship.
** Sylwia is also friends with lesbian couple Kasia and Areta who fall into this. Kasia is feminine, Areta's a ButchLesbian judging by her style.
* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:It's strongly implied, though not confirmed, that Natalia and Majka will get back together when the series concludes.]]
* MeetCute: Natalia met Majka in the past while the latter was a store clerk. The two had clear attraction to each other from the start, with awkward banter before Natalia left Majka her number.
* ModestyBedsheet: Natalia and Majka are generally shown with the bedsheets around their chests after having sex with someone.
* MorningSickness: Majka suffers this after getting pregnant. She runs off to vomit abruptly.
* NiceGirl: Majka is usually friendly and kind to other people.
* OneHeadTaller: Natalia is taller than Majka, whose head comes up to about her chin. It's noticeable whenever they're kissing especially as Majka always cranes her head up.
* TheOneThatGotAway: Even when they're in relationships with other people after theirs collapsed, Natalia and Majka quiet clearly want one another most of all.
* OneTrueLove: Natalia and Majka break up, then both of them date other people. However, they still clearly want each other, no one else. They break up with their other partners and get back together. Natalia is even described as this by one of Majka's friends.
* OppositesAttract: Olive-skinned brunette Natalia is more morose, less friendly and reserved. Contrasting this, Majka is a fair-skinned readhead who's usually upbeat, quite friendly and outgoing. They are both still the others' OneTrueLove.
* SexWithTheEx: Natalia and Majka rekindle their passion when both have just ended their recent relationships with other people through spontaneously having sex.
* ShouldersUpNudity: Natalia and Majka are shown while having sex this way a couple times.
* SurprisePregnancy: After she's come home from Spain, Majka learns to her surprise that she's pregnant, from what was apparently [[OneNightStandPregnancy casual sex with a stranger]]. She then has to deal with deciding on what she'll do. Natalia pushes her to have an abortion, which Majka goes along with at first, but ultimately she doesn't and happily becomes the mother of a daughter.
* TimeSkip: The series go ahead two years between season three and four.
* TransparentCloset: Majka's sister realizes from her the way her face lights whenever Natalia's around that Majka loves her.
* TransTribulations: Anu doesn't celebrate Christmas with his family as they won't recognize him as a man. He also isn't able to legally marry Wera later as his gender is still female on paper.
* WallBangHer: Natalia and Majka have sex up against a wall with each other partly the last time they were shown together.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: The series teases all throughout whether Natalia will end up with Majka. [[spoiler:Even at the end [[MaybeEverAfter it isn't certain, though implied they do]].]]
