Professor T.

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!

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.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed Professor T., and was increasingly drawn into the two series available on UK's All4 channel, ultimately binge watching! Yes, it takes a while to get into its stride, so disregard the Guardian reviewer's lazy and flippant review based only on the first episode. The series' writers' intentions only become clear over time and some of the best scenes (and explanations of the Professor's complicated past) are left building right up to the closing episodes of Series 2. If there are echoes of previous TV dramas, so there are in a myriad of small screen offerings - where could we find total originality after so many decades of TV? Humour, tragedy, suspense, romance and whodunit unravellings take turns to entertain, and I ended up really liking all the main characters, finding the acting and directing high-end throughout. The European aspects might be appreciated more by a UK audience drilled in Scand-noir than by US viewers, as we know Americans often prefer to remake a successful Euro-series or movie in English on home soil to guarantee a good audience. Still, if subtitles and a foreign ambiance are fine by you, I'd unreservedly recommend giving this thoughtful Belgian drama a go. The intriguing series 2 ending leads me to think a third series might be pending.

I discovered Professor T on PBS. The first 13 episodes were so good, I am paying to watch Series 2. All the acting is top notch. These are not familiar actors to me, but I am very impressed. Each small mystery is interesting and fun to solve along with the cast. I can't wait for Series 3 to be available in the States too!
