I love how so many people on here are complaining about the fact that there was no explanation about the hostage taker's motive, his Arabic name, the little details there are about the hostage, etcetera. Meanwhile this movie is based on real events and it's simply a mystery what his motives were (because it was never found out, duh!). The hostage taker literally had a Syrian ethnicity (news flash: people with around 180 different ethnical backgrounds live in the Netherlands and many have very thick Dutch local accents, because they were born and raised here). The hostage decided to stay anonymous after the event, so there is little known about him, except that he's from Bulgaria. So they made a movie about facts. They followed the literal storyline as much as possible. But it's not sensational enough? It needed a bit more drama, or... well, lies? Reality can't have plot holes, just missing facts.

Oh and for the ones saying: I'd rather have watched an actual documentary, with actual statements from people who were there. So..? Go do that then. That documentary already came out over a year ago. You can't blame anyone for not knowing, except yourself. Some people don't like documentaries. Now they can watch this movie and also learn about what happened that day.

What's up with this series?! It starts off soooooooo slowly, then it just turns into a toxic mess! Where the boy is excused for keeping the girl around, because he likes her, but he's "just not ready for a relationship". It's not cute. And no, he's not in love. That's not love, that's gaslighting and hella childish. The good ratings must be from 10-17 year olds, because no adult in their right mind would think this is actually a good storyline. And if you are an adult who likes this, you must've never really dated anyone... Anyway, 2/10, do not recommend. The two stars are for the female lead and the camera work. That's it.
