Ferry: Die Serie

There are some parts in the serie that are questionable or somewhat predictable. And yes, the acting is not all great, I really expected more from for instance Tygo Gerbrandt. But Ferry was just phenomenal. The dark side of the drugscriminal was really frightening, and it created a scary but beautiful contrast against the love for Daantje. It was really good and convincing chemistry between the two lead actors. The plot is maybe a bit to straight forward, but the characters and the way they slowly slide deeper and deeper into the criminal underworld, and how it changes their characters, is really well played. A must see!

I'm from Brabant, grew up close to where Lammers (lead actor) was born. Half the cast comes from the region. Yes, this series is dramatized, made for entertainment, sometimes cringey and too flashy, but that's okay we're not watching a documentary.

Some of you might not understand that to me, this series is not that far fetched at all. XTC has had a major major influence on border region between The Netherlands and Belgium, followed by all the social/economical/ecological problems.

The story is good, acting is really good for Lowlands-standards. You'll enjoy this one, it's well written.

Also in this case I don't even think you'll need to watch Undercover before Ferry. Maybe start with Ferry the Movie, then Ferry, then Undercover. No idea why they're making prequels not sequels but I'm not complaining.

Very exciting show! It's well written and realistic. Ferry is a very authentic character who certainly has his flaws, and he's just fun to watch. The show centers around the drug trade in extasy, and the manufacture of these drugs in the south of the Netherlands. The province is somewhat infamous for that nowadays, which makes it more relatable. During this prequel of "Undercover" you definitely get a good sense of how Ferry's character and his business developed.

John might be an underappreciated character, not only in this series, but also "Undercover" which comes after this. Very strong character and good acting. Ferry and John complement each other very well.

The show gives a very realistic view of life in the north of Belgium and the south of Brabant. It's original: good to see something different than Rotterdam and Amsterdam, or Antwerp. I can definitely recommend it for whoever would like to know the country better, by watching an bold and authentic thriller series.

I gave this the maximum score, as this series just has everything that I could ask: good story line, action, humor, excitement, realism.

Constantly couldn't wait to see the next episode.

In my humble opinion, 'Ferry the Series' has left me somewhat underwhelmed, and I occasionally find myself feeling bored while watching it. The quality of acting is certainly uncommendable and the overall execution falls short of my expectations.

One of my primary reservations about the series is the lack of depth in exploring Ferry's backstory. I had hoped for a more profound dive into his life, particularly his early experiences and the events that shaped his character. Instead, the storyline felt all too familiar, resembling that of the original 'Undercover' series. This lack of innovation and differentiation from the parent series left me somewhat disheartened.

The storytelling, in my opinion, lacks the compelling elements that draw viewers in and keep them engaged. It's as if the plot follows a formulaic pattern, making it predictable and less exciting. The absence of unexpected twists and turns further contributes to the feeling of disappointment. I had anticipated a more intricate narrative that would not only shed light on Ferry's character but also present a unique and captivating plot line.

Also the overwhelming amount of 'suspicious' reviews here is very 'interesting' to notice ...

After the series Undercover and the movie Ferry this series is the third series/movie Netflix dedicates to the gangster Ferry (of course the series Undercover was not entirely centred around him) taking place between the first two.

This series maintains the quality of the first two. Hence, if you watched and liked the first two you will not be disappointed by this series.

The cinematography, design and acting are very good. But two things really stand out for me: first, in contrast to most Gangster/Drug stories taking place in the U. S. and/or South America this series (as well as its predecessors of course) takes place in Western Europe. Second, this series frequently tells background stories of main (supporting) characters, which makes the actions and emotions of these characters very comprehensible.

All in all a very good series!
