I've enjoyed much Belgian crime TV series in the past, such as "The Break", "Salamander", "De Dag" and others, so I was eager to watch "13 Commandments" (original title: "13 Geboden") even though it is a rather lengthy show for my taste (13 episodes in total). The story is a classic serial-killer police procedural with a killer nicknamed "Moses" by the press who tortures his victims without killing them but leaving them traumatised and scarred for life. The plot is moving forward in a fast tempo and there is a colossal twist in episode 10 that leaves the viewer aghast. After that, you see the story through a totally different perspective. While it sounds, and on a certain level truly is, another formulaic crime show, "13 Commandments" has some merits that make it stand out in a positive way. The characters are nicely outlined, especially the two protagonists, Peter and Vicky, each having their own problems and troubled past. Furthermore, I found Dirk van Dijck's performance as Peter to be outstanding and after finishing watching this one, I instantly searched his filmography in order to see more of his work. The production values of the show are at a high level, as always in the Belgian cinema and television productions and overall I can safely say that "13 Commandments" is a binge-worthy series and many of you will watch it in one or two sittings.
This is stellar noir crime. What starts as the usual serial killer flick becomes soon an intense and very gripping masterpiece. The story evolves in small steps and what looks like loose ends are ultimately cleverly connected. There are many twists and turns but not for the pure sake of it but it just reminds you to never believe what u see on the 1st glance. There is way more in 13C. besides to figure out who is the killer. It really makes u think and questions pop up the likes of ... what if he's right ? You will see the abyss in people's mind & behavior and this will leave u sometimes speechless. All actors do a great job and I also liked the setting and light - it supports the twilight zone atmosphere. If you're up for something real and are done with high polished and sleek massmarket tv crime I can highly recommend this superb crime/drama! The only reason I left 1 star off was the very last scene which I found personally a bit bland compared to the overall greatness of the show.
Although the story sometimes seems disjointed, this is because there are flashbacks put in at odd places. But it all makes sense. This is worthy of binge watching but I would suggest something light every couple of episodes. It can be a little heavy, but it never bores. This isn't an action movie, it plods along at a steady pace. The characters evolve steadily as does the storyline. It needs to be watched carefully and not just glanced at.
Can't believe all the negative reviews saying the writing is bad or the plot is illogical or unbelievable. Common people, it's fiction. Belgian fiction. With rather good direction, cinematography. Great grading and coloring creating a film noir like atmosphere. And the acting is good with hardly a false beat. The story could've been more condensed. After an okay mid part, the ending pays off. Just see for yourself.
The story has its merit. Unfortunately the writers lose control after a while. Instead of being more gripping, the story just gets less believable. A pity, because the actors are doing a great job and the direction is spot on.

- PatzerThe one victim who mozes places a hand grenade in his hands which are tied together and pulls the pin "forcing" the victim to keep pressure on the trigger mechanism. His hands are tied together but not bound to anything. He could easily have thrown the grenade at mozes as he left.
