Coppers

While I found this series interesting, the incessant drum solos between the dialogue eventually became almost unbearable.

Hilda De Baerdermaeker was excellent in her role and the entire cast meshed. Unfortunately Season one left me hanging. When will she find out who has been blackmailing her..

Good plot Excellent acting Drums used as a coping mechanism was unique and excellent

Yet another well paced and well played TV drama from the Belgium's. No shooting, explosions or fast car chases yet some how they still manage to get their man! The usual mix of misfit caricatures that all seem to mesh together nicely. I am just sorry that Hilde De Baerdemaeker doesn't get to show of her lovely smile more often, but I guess being a murder cop there isn't a lot to smile at!

I really love Flemish-Belgian TV and films, as well as music from the region. Often world class with a unique flavor, connecting Anglo-American pop culture with French.

Coppers has world class cinematography, music, and mainly excellent acting, and overall is just between excellent and very good. I found some dramatic solutions in the script, especially the cliffhanger, and some acting a bit too TV-like and cheap, but overall I think this is a very good series with a very nice look and sound.

Hilde De Baerdemaeker is great as the main protagonist.I really like that she can be super good looking, attractive, but tired and ugly as well. Luk Wyns and Bert Verbeke could have gotten a bit more polished characters. Some of the episode characters are played by the best Belgian actors.
