In this tension between comedy and tragedy, between desire and destruction, the series finds its power and its most incisive commentary on the fragility of power. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Oct 31

SABINE D @RT60324542 Nov 30 Liked the series and the story . Definitely worth watching despite the lead actress, Janssen, looking out of place with the bizarro outfits and facial expressions that didn’t fit the persona . Only the story and the other actors made me watch it till the end. See more Jan S @RT94121005 Nov 24 Audio is zo slecht, lijkt wel voice over! Over de dialogen zelf nog maar te zwijgen.. See more Marnix P @RT41580077 Nov 17 Fun, campy ride about a nasty divorce in the Red Light District in Amsterdam. See more Louis v @RT87843413 Nov 15 Een geweldige serie, goed gemaakt en ik wacht nu op seizoen 2!! See more Edward L @Glyndower Nov 15 Rather silly revenge thriller spoilt by Famke Janssen's inability to act and her ludicrous appearance, which seems to confirm the rumours about botched plastic surgery. See more Julie R @RT13756277 Nov 9 Good pace & very surprising! Hoping for a season 2 See more Read all reviews
