1985 plot

The two best friends Marc and Franky embark on a career with the gendarmerie in the very turbulent eighties, when the Bende van Nijvel spreads terror by committing brutal robberies. The young recruits at the gendarmerie end up in the middle of an internal battle. Franky's sister Vicky is now studying law, where she sees her left-wing ideals collide with those of her brother.

1985 season 1

After having seen the fifth episode, I can say that the series contains very good elements:
- good music
- many new faces, which only improves the viewing experience
- the constant feeling of threat
- good camera work
- use of real news footage, which makes the whole look very authentic
- real 80's atmosphere
- the fact that the Brussels dialect is nicely placed in the showcase

The only downside is that I'm missing some kind of common thread. However, there are still three episodes to go, so who knows, we as viewers will be pleasantly surprised

1985 season 1

Pretty dark and cynical fact fiction series about the 1980s in Belgium. The macabre Bende van Nijvel event takes place in the background. The makers chose the track of Walloon extreme right-wing police officers who came to hunt innocent civilians in Flanders with the knowledge of and cover-up by the francophone Belgian state. A pretty daring series. Old faithful and spicy newcomers take the series to the next level. Drama trumps action, but that shouldn't spoil the fun. Good production, more of that!
