De Ring (2024)

I am a fan of Dutch thriller and crime series. The Ring has an unbelievable pretext. The reaction of his lawyer/victim is the same. The clothing producer is also very concerned. In short, the story makes no sense. I can't stand that.
The acting of the supporting roles is sometimes embarrassingly bad. Rehearsed sentences with a tendency to overact. I find the leading roles convincing acting. It's a shame that they act in this idiotic story.
I'll watch the series to the end. Want to know how the writers get out of this strange situation.

Hannah Hoekstra cycles through the streets. Minne Koole solves a puzzle in a picturesque garden house. Benja Bruijning is a charming asshole in the fashion industry. Something with sexual extortion and a murder. Also something with an artist who commits suicide and a brother with an inferiority complex. Charlie Chan Dagelet has scruples. Delilah Warcup-Van Eyck has a hard time with the sudden death of her husband. You could easily fit this into a two-hour feature film, but 'De Ring' (2024) crawls along at the same excruciating snail's pace for ten episodes. With theatrical staccato dialogues and ridiculous plot twists. If you put a gun to my head to say something positive about it, it's that Frank Ketelaar always knows how to convey the atmosphere of a city. 'De Ring' (2024) radiates Utrecht from start to finish. If only there had been more to honor that beautiful city.
