Coppers

Released in English speaking countries as Rough Justice this drama featuring Hilde De Baerdemaeker as main character Liese Meerhout, a drum playing, mustard yellow Mercedes driving detective who loosely plays by the rules. While some of the plots in the episodes may lack depth, the characters are gritty and feel real and the plot line of strange emails and blackmail throughout the series makes for easy binge watching. Ignore the fact that this is a Flemish program, close the curtains turn off your phone and immerse yourself in a foreign language series with English subtitles and enjoy.

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

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

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.

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..
