More than successful series by Bart de Pauw about a quiz team, consisting of a mess of irregulars: a quiz legend with a towering trauma; an unemployed dreamer who himself does not realize that he is just messing around; a history teacher who has had his day and lost his way in booze; a proprietor of a near-bottom photo shop, who is constantly treated unfairly by his wife; and a mildly mentally handicapped young man with a fantastic memory for movies and music.

The humor suits me, a fresh alternation between popular humor and somewhat crazier circumstances, in which the diversity of the main characters in particular knows how to charm me. Besides the five quizzers, we see Joy Anna Thielemans (best known to the soap fan from Thuis) in, as far as I know, the only good role she has ever played (and now it's everyone free to correct me of course), Clara Cleymans as a mysterious, sexy nymphomaniac and Liesa Naert, Tine Embrechts and Kevin Janssens who are just their delightful selves. Stefaan Degand also throws in a bit of absurdism with his impressive figure and manner.

Most of the attention, however, goes to the five main characters, a mishmash of veterans and young violence. Not only the veterans (Dirk Van Dijck, Tom Audenaert and the mighty Jos Verbist) are doing great, newcomers Wietse Tanghe (also known from In Vlaamse Velden) and Pieter Piron are doing more than quite, Piron in particular. He knows how to portray his character with great feeling, which regularly gave me goosebumps.

All well considered one of the best Flemish TV series I have ever seen.

4.5 stars

Very good series with high level acting by just about everyone, special mention for Tine Embrechts as bossy wife of de Luc. And also Kevin Janssens who knows things like "antananarivo".

Story knows how to bring together a very diverse group of people in an improbable yet very natural way in what can be called one of the best hobbies since time immemorial, quizzes. But it goes further than that, the quizzes are just a stepping stone to get various life stories told. And the series succeeds wonderfully in that.

Quizzing is a good subject for a series. It provides a game element and it gives the five main characters a goal: to achieve the Superprestige. Putting everything into lists and learning by heart - listomania - can become an obsession. One can become a walking encyclopedia of trivial facts, of did you know. A fanatical quip can have autistic traits. The five also have a life outside of the quiz. Their partners, their private and professional perils, provide side intrigue and psychological support.

It contains some flashbacks, especially around the "Paris Horse". The fragment from the IQ quiz appears real, but is staged. The voice of Herman Van Molle can be heard in it. In the last episode, this god of quizmasters has a guest role. Nick's daydreams are also nice interludes. Crosscutting is sometimes used between the different storylines to jump back and forth between simultaneous events. It takes place in everyday environments: a cafe, a school, a sheltered workshop, a small business...

The five team members are well cast. They have a headline that fits their character well. Among the female opponents, Clara Cleymans stands out as the intelligent nymphomaniac. Also striking is Joy Anna Thielemans, who suddenly withdrew from public life five years ago. Bart De Pauw gave himself the role of an arrogant bully in a yellow tracksuit.

During the credits, a cityscape of Tienen can be seen with the two medieval towers. There are also station signs of unsightly Belgian villages. Finally, a quiz question: Who sang the song Kiss Me Quick in 1962? Elvis Presley.
