Flikken Maastricht

People who've said its boring, I bet they've only watched the First episode, its 13 almost 14 seasons now as i'm writing this (sunday july 14 2019) question would It been so high in season number if it was boring? look the Benelux is not america, the budgets in the netherlands is far less than in hollywood. Maybe it has a rocky start at first but when you get further into the show I mean in seasons, it gets more intens along the way.

Small introduction: 'Flikken' is Dutch slang for 'police officers', while 'Maastricht' is a beautiful town in the very South of the Netherlands.

So these series are about a police unit in a provincial town. Set in the current crime, atmosphere, morality & mentality of the Netherlands. Extra flavor is added by Maastricht's internationalism: the town lies close to Belgium and Germany, and has its Dutch character lovely mixed with these foreign influences.

Another key-point: 'Flikken Maastricht' has its plots strongly interwoven with the personal lives of its police officers. Too much to be true, I should say, but these recognizable day-to-day problems have contributed to the series' popularity.

'Flikken Maastricht' was and is a TV-hit, (so far) spread over four seasons. Its evolution follows a usual pattern: developing itself in seasons 1 and 2, peaking in 3, and getting a little overdone in series 4.

A great Dutch police TV series. Personal I think it is one of the best Dutch police series I have seen so far. They record the episodes at great locations in Limburg, The Netherlands.

The actors Victor Reinier en Angela Schijf are great, they act very natural and playing a police character of the police in Maastricht (capital city of Limburg).

I think the series is also suitable for other countries. This requires there used subtitles . The Dutch language is spoken. In addition, the series is ideal for families. The action is also suitable for children. Highly recommended!

Just watch from season #1. See how it developes! . . . . . . .

The level of acting in the series is below average and things never get realistic. Characters are shallow and badly cast. I watch Scandinavian, French, Israelian and even Polish series, but this just has no nothing..
