The Flemish Bandits

Overall a good serie. Acting is quite good, like the vibes this serie brings.

A little cynical I started watching the Flemish series 'De bende van Jan de Lichte' after the famous book by Louis Paul Boon, because book adaptations often disappoint. Especially with favorite books. Already at the start I was pleasantly surprised and my attention caught. The medieval atmosphere is impressive and realistic and the acting is great. Although the storyline sometimes deviates, the book is really honored in my mind. It is a dark 'rascal novel' as the book was intended. A real pleasure to immerse yourself for hours in the Middle Ages and not be dissapointed. A very low rating is not to be taken serious.

Production on a decent level when it comes to actors costumes scenery. Plot overall good however seems stretched at some points especially beginning. When it comes to bandits themselves they seem to be the most boring Ive ever seen. I cannot recall a single joke from this series but maybe that's just the way flemish are, that I dont know :D

And definitely not worth a 1 that the revieuwer below gave it. Absurd rating. Normally i would give you the Show a 6 or 7, but it doesnt deserve lower then that (in my opinion)

Anyways, i watched this with original dutch audio. And its a ok watch, better the average dutch/belgium productions i would say. Its interesting to see a show in that time.

I really liked the storyline and the character development. It makes you question if it really was like that in 17th century Belgium.
