I have now watched the series in its entirety and am still not completely satisfied. In recent years I have seen some strong Flemish series such as 'In Flemish fields', Tabula Rasa and Beau séjour. It really revolves too much around the personal lives of the characters. A good series should also surprise and I didn't have that feeling here . In addition, I don't think the disappearance of Bert Haelvoet and Tom Ternest is good for the series. They were the herbs in this series after all. Of course Dirk van Dijk plays very well, but I miss some variety in the characters. At least Bert Haelvoet and Tom Ternest also provided a comical note and the necessary cynicism. From the moment they drop out, it's all too serious. Reasonable series, but I'm better used to Flemish series in recent years. They pretended that this was going to be the new 'The bridge'.

It was an interesting series until it became known who Moses was. From that moment on the whole thing weakened considerably and even went out like a candle in the ending. That does not alter the fact that the idea behind this was not bad, nor was the execution. However, in my opinion, there are better Belgian crime series, such as Aspe.

Found it a bit disappointing... Normally the Flemish series are a pleasure to watch. But no, this was not really enjoyable. You watch the series but with hanging and strangling. Storyline was not engaging and catchy, lacked the real suspense.

And then it had to look like the "The Bridge". Well far from that.

Let's hope the Flemish crime series maker doesn't look too much at the success of the Northern European crime series. The Flemings have proven in the past that they can make very good series themselves..Trust in their own abilities...
