Baptiste

I have yet to see season 2, mostly because I felt it ended well in season 1. He's an old man, retired, and it was a suspenseful case with all the moving pieces.

Season 1 was awesome but season 2 I think was a complete and utter terrible unbelievable story. I had to turn it off a few episodes in.

Baptiste is a retired French detective, who has a gift for finding people. In Season 1, he searches for a man's 'daughter' in Holland. She went missing from the Red-Light district & is also wanted by a very lethal Albanian gang. Somehow Baptiste is never afraid of these kinds of people. Stick with this series.

Season 2--an Ambassador's family goes missing whilst on vacation-- was probably 4 episodes too long with innumerable flashbacks. Disappointing, but the character Baptiste always is a pleasure to watch.

Baptiste is entertaining but the storyline is not convincing enough. As a dutch national I was exited that it is set in Amsterdam where i have worked for three years. But why have belgian actors playing the Dutch police? If you don't speak Dutch than you wont notice, but a belgian accent for dutch police officers in the city of Amsterdam is kind a funny. We have actors in Holland you know :-)

Perhaps it's a little slow to begin with but there are many twists and turns and every episode leaves you with a cliffhanger. The acting is high quality and the story is gripping. Give it a go and make your own mind up.
