Ittay1 S @Ittay11 Dec 5 A bizzare / bad taste, reliabilty / authenticity-smashing piece. MAJOR TURNOFF for me. Why would the makers portray an Amsterdam cop named Van der Valk and everyone else in Amsterdam, as speaking UK English with heavy British accents and slang ("innit?" as in "isn't it?|) ???!!! Are we supposed to relate to the characters at all? The creators seem to view film making as just throwing in some decent ingredients, never minding how the mixture feels! Or do they think they're like Shakespeare? (who made Danish characters speak literary English :-) ?

Captivating and engaging throughout, his ability to keep viewers guessing through what is at times a minimalistic plot, is simply good character acting. A solid switch off for those seeking an alternative to traditional Uk crime shows. Recommend See more Aly L @RT93882986 01/11/2025 It’s sweet and a little bit bitter. Edgy, funny and a bit melodramatic. Just a little bit. Problems raised here overlap with those of the “Bridge” at some points. But touched, solved and handled differently. Views of Amsterdam and Piet’s boat are gorgeous! She, the boat, is the lady! There is a lot of interpersonal and sexual tension here. Shame that the characters know no relief, but it holds your attention for sure. See more marina b @RT10627441 11/16/2024 We're watching now (rerun in Belgium) and I like it. It's a pleasure to watch it again.

Connection with the characters seemed to lack spontaneity and the plot was fair but not necessarily totally convincing. The second instalment was far more involving with regard to storyline and an affinity to the protagonists provided a considerable enticement to watch the next episode. For me the final episode was outstanding. The subject matter was challenging and I found myself on edge and engrossed. Surely good enough to commission a third series I hope.
