Klem

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!

Watched the first series a couple of years ago and just discovered to my delight there are another 2 on all4 (uk).

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.

Decent effort but not execution, could have been done in half the episodes. They drop in a dark comedy spin to it but (curiously) only in the last episode so that doesn't work, either. The story is decent but the script is not. Dialogue seems almost forced, nobody's a believable character.
