Juliet

The strongest impression that remains in my head from this series is just how ghastly teenage children are. The actresses playing Juliet's niece Chloë and the teenage Juliet were excellent at portraying brattish, entitled youngsters. They did it so well that I reminded myself of how lucky I am not to have kids.

The inheritance story and the quest for Juliet's brother were also well woven into the fabric of the series. In fact, the whole show was lopsided with the actual murders and investigations registering far less in my mind than the human interest strands. That's not to say the former weren't up to scratch, just that the intricacies of the protagonists' lives were more impressive.

I watched the whole series within a day and a half. It's certainly has something going for it, especially the setting of a prosperous, Flemish, coastal town. I would still recommend seeing this.
