Laura H. plot

Laura travels from Zoetermeer with her husband and two children to the caliphate in Syria, where she adopts a new identity during her search for herself. In 2016, Laura suddenly shows up at the border, where she declares that she has escaped and regrets her choices. In the Netherlands, however, she is received with suspicion, even by her own father, who previously did everything to get her home safely.

Reviews & comments

Nice series to watch, but of course it's not all that realistic. Laura H is portrayed as a victim who served her time in the caliphate (doesn't sound very plausible in a caliphate where women weren't averse to one thing or another); with the icing on the cake being a scene where she provides the entire women's house with food?

Should we especially feel sorry for her and see her as some kind of hero? When push comes to shove, she willingly and knowingly joined a regime where the dogs don't get bread from burdens and dragged her children into this madness?

In my opinion, the emphasis could have been more on her role as a failing individual in society, rather than the victim role she is assigned.

It's all based on her truth and in this way everyone can of course clean up their act and this series does a good job of polishing up her image.

Not perfect, but I don't think the fuss about 'Laura H.' (2024) is entirely justified. A few years ago, this would have passed us by as yet another social-realistic drama series based on a notorious criminal case. The strongest thing about 'Laura H.' (2024) is definitely Zoë Love Smith in the title role as the young woman who has to navigate between different ideologies to keep her family together. It's a shame that the series remains superficial about Laura's motives for going along with Ibrahim's (Bilal Al Aoumari) extremism. Other than some psychological explanations, you never really get an answer to the question of why Laura wanted to distance herself from Dutch society. Her role in the caliphate also remains somewhat one-sided as she is mainly portrayed as a victim of Ibrahim. 'Laura H.' (2024) doesn't seem to dare to explore a complex question of guilt further.
