Red Light

Would have been better as one long movie. Main story line is good, I found it dragged on too long. First few episodes were really grabbing, lost interest halfway through, still watched until the end.

This review is after watching series 1 (in the unlikely event of there being a series 2).

A Dutch show called Red Light and there is barely any nudity never mind sex scenes!

I tuned in to watch because I loved Koen De Bouw in the Belgian version of Professor T but he only has a support role here.

On the whole, a good series, as long as you understand that in modern TV, all women are angels and only do wrong things for good reasons while all men are evil or weak house husbands.

A very disjointed finale.

One of the best thriller-drama series ever written. Set in Antwerp and Amsterdam, it provides deep insights in the prostitution scene, the related legal and illegal activities and the thorough, complex police work needed to restrict it. Halina Reijn's and Carice van Houten's performances are both excellent; their relation dynamics unsettling. Both entertaining and very impressive.

Goed gedaan dames!

I am not totally finished with all episodes yet, but already very much intrigued. Great acting, great feel and good setting.

The title fooled me to think this would just be a sexually explicit romp with little dimension. Wrong. Red Light is a multi-layered drama with several story strands going simultaneously with the main story. Superbly done with some wonderful acting and interesting characters. Highly recommended.
