Flikken Maastricht

Just watch from season #1. See how it developes! . . . . . . .

A great Dutch police TV series. Personal I think it is one of the best Dutch police series I have seen so far. They record the episodes at great locations in Limburg, The Netherlands.

The actors Victor Reinier en Angela Schijf are great, they act very natural and playing a police character of the police in Maastricht (capital city of Limburg).

I think the series is also suitable for other countries. This requires there used subtitles . The Dutch language is spoken. In addition, the series is ideal for families. The action is also suitable for children. Highly recommended!

I'm watching Flikken Maastricht via BVN, which is a free to air satellite broadcast. Maastricht is to The Netherlands what New Orleans is to the US, but without the music. The food, mardi gras, French influences, those are all similar. In the series there's nothing that refers to the couleur locale, save for the back ground. The indigenous Maastricht people speak a beautiful language, just like New Orleans cajun, but I haven't find one character who sounds like a local.

But, what bothers me most is how the writers are unable to build a story. They have no clue how to set up the key scenes of the program. It's structured like an Emeril show, first you take this, than you do that and voilá, there's your gumbo.

How many foreign companies have picked up the show?

People who've said its boring, I bet they've only watched the First episode, its 13 almost 14 seasons now as i'm writing this (sunday july 14 2019) question would It been so high in season number if it was boring? look the Benelux is not america, the budgets in the netherlands is far less than in hollywood. Maybe it has a rocky start at first but when you get further into the show I mean in seasons, it gets more intens along the way.

The level of acting in the series is below average and things never get realistic. Characters are shallow and badly cast. I watch Scandinavian, French, Israelian and even Polish series, but this just has no nothing..
