Professor T.

This series could be compared to Monk or House, but, it does not remain in the simple genius with null social skills that solves police cases. The Professor T. is also a deconstruction of the human mind, traumas, emotions and their consequences in people's lives and is analyzed as the psyche and emotions have led to commit ordinary crimes. Although the cases are autoconclusive, the central characters are evolving and growing and all seasons have a common link that is the mysterious and traumatic suicide of the Professor's father. Apart is the music that accompanies the series, quite unusual, but, that fits like a glove.

T. is spectacularly good. It has humour, high quality acting. The storyline and dialogue are surprising and captivating. The direction is exquisite, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes chillingly emotional. Koen De Bouw is totally different from all his other roles, his comic timing and humour is spot on. Ella Leyers is very natural and spontaneous, and touching in her scenes with the equally authentic Gène Bervoets. Herwig Ilegems is a real comic gem, we already knew that, but this time he proves that he can be very believable in a dramatic vein. T. is not the classical whodunit, but it is thriller, comedy and drama all in once. It succeeds on all three levels. This series deserves a lot of viewers!

The characters are well embroiled in a story throughout the series that is full of unexpected events. It depicts our human dark and enlighten sides with a clever mix of disgust, humor and romanticism. The acting is excellent, at a level where I felt real moving moments throughout the series. The music is fantastic.

Its the first time I watch something in Flemish, thought I was not going to tolerate it, but the acting and the story just took over and I enjoyed it as if it was my native language!

Like other reviewers, I was not convinced this was for me--I thought I knew what it was going to be. Stick with it, it is surprising how this holds your attention. The storyline and the characters are intriguing. Professor T is brilliantly, certifiably crazy, but remains functional, others care about him and accept his quirkiness--. It is also very funny. The music is also terrific.

Rarely today you find a show that is original and fresh ,well written with great casting. What a great commentary of life and relationship that is humorous and bluntly exposing of the frailty and hurts we live with and communicate through to others all of this in the guise of a detective drama. Well done excellent production ,I'm only hopeing there are more to come.
