13 Commandments

Just finished the series and absolutely loved it. In fact, it is 3.30am right now because I just had to finish the series tonight. There are several twists that I really didn't see coming, and the show really takes you on a journey with Moses and even makes you stop and reconsider your own views. The character development is subtle but definitely there and the main cast is excellent, especially the male and female lead. It is a slower paced show like many of these foreign crime shows, but that doesn't mean boring. It is quite gripping and tells the story well. Great story characters and cast!

I enjoyed this noir crime series because they were finely produced. The locations, the dark theme scenes in line with the subject, the outstanding performance of Mr Van Dijck, everything looked natural including the surprising turn of events, secondary murky characters and places. I got trapped and gobbled up the 13 chapters. It gets better on the last three episodes. I could anticipate the ending but no the last minute. Smart script.

This is stellar noir crime. What starts as the usual serial killer flick becomes soon an intense and very gripping masterpiece. The story evolves in small steps and what looks like loose ends are ultimately cleverly connected. There are many twists and turns but not for the pure sake of it but it just reminds you to never believe what u see on the 1st glance. There is way more in 13C. besides to figure out who is the killer. It really makes u think and questions pop up the likes of ... what if he's right ? You will see the abyss in people's mind & behavior and this will leave u sometimes speechless. All actors do a great job and I also liked the setting and light - it supports the twilight zone atmosphere. If you're up for something real and are done with high polished and sleek massmarket tv crime I can highly recommend this superb crime/drama! The only reason I left 1 star off was the very last scene which I found personally a bit bland compared to the overall greatness of the show.

Yes Yes Yes scani noir from Belgium. Better than "7" cos Brad Pitt isnt in it. Has the obvious flaws that all TV/Film police dramas have but you can get over them. Well worth the time to watch. Just loved Vicky and her 'Trumpy'. Anther winner from our Continental friends even the cold seems to seep through the TV!!!

Can't believe all the negative reviews saying the writing is bad or the plot is illogical or unbelievable. Common people, it's fiction. Belgian fiction. With rather good direction, cinematography. Great grading and coloring creating a film noir like atmosphere. And the acting is good with hardly a false beat. The story could've been more condensed. After an okay mid part, the ending pays off. Just see for yourself.
