Klem

Where a dull "taxman" finds himself drawn into the criminal world of murder and fraud. Script has some flaws, but if you're not too critical, it works. Jacob Derwig as the dumb and aggressive criminal is awesome!

The fourth year however, is over the top, with a very weak and ridiculous script. Skip it, cause it has nothing to do with the first three years.

Klem is a gripping Dutch thriller series featuring an acclaimed cast. The story line is credible, and the unease of the initially very innocent tax official - who is slowly sucked into more criminal enterprises - is relatable. Portrayal of Amsterdam upper and lower/criminal class is accurate, and the accents spot on.

Dutch TV is new to me but Klem is a real credit.

Twisting plot, strong characters, great acting.

Advertising inserted at odd times, slightly dodgy translation mean I cannot give Klem a 10 but roll on series 4!

For Dutch standards this is not bad at all. Definitely much better than GTST 🙄

It took some time to set the stage but once the relations were established it got under my skin and I just kept on watching. Really rooting for the characters and hoping they could solve their problems. I am dutch and am always very critical on dutch series. But this is a quality series worth the watch. And I think also people outside the Netherlands will enjoy it. No over the top action and I found the story to be believable witch also is a big plus. Also the children do a good job (normally I can't stand children in series...) It even brought tears to my eyes in some cases.

I give Klem an 8 out of 10.
