Over water

Season 1 starts off good, but the story is just spun out over too many episodes. For too long I got the feeling nothing really happened. Season 2 is a clear improvement, however. Acting is of a very high standard. Special accolades are due for Tom Van Dyck! Photography : this personal taste, but I am not a fan of the darkish images.

The characters were well played and geniune. What a performance by the actors. They made it really human and illustrsted persons struggling with life's choices well.

The attention to detail in the series is unique and you usually don't see this on tv.

Loved the belgian humor at some points. Overall a fantastic series. Hope there will be a third season.

PS. I wonder if the reviews giving a "1" are real..?

After 2 episodes I had trouble concentrating myself on the story! I was just waiting till another one of the characters would ask or say 'ça va' and get the same answer. Now as this means 'everything ok' there are plenty of alternatives or other options in dutch for this annoying french 'ça va'. But it seems the writers had no inspiration at all. I imagine Paul Baeten Gronda and Tom Lenaerts while writing or meeting, asking each other hundreds of times 'ça va...ça va...ça va...'. And after watching the 10 episodes I can only answer 'ça ne va pas'! I have never seen or read any story in which all of the protagonists act this illogical and stupid.

With his friend Bart De Pauw, Tom Lenaerts made some innovating television. Now that Bart has 'disappeared' after accusations of sexual intimidation it's up to Tom Lenaerts to make some new exciting television. But after turning 50 seems he has completely lost it.

The second season of 'Over Water' has been filmed yet. I'm looking forward to count how many 'ça va's' will be in it. In the end it's the only fun thing in this TV-show. So if this ever comes on Netflix, and you have the opportunity to watch it, do so with a couple of friends and cheer each time you hear a 'ça va', ça va?

Oke series, well enough in acting and developing plot. Not a masterpiece of course but pretty good and fun to watch. Enjoy

A drug trafficking crime drama in the harbor town sounds great but it quickly turns into a soap with predictable story and characters. In the second season a politician wants to clean up the harbor of drug trafficking. This seems like a good premise to focus back on the drugs and murder but it mainly introduces new despicable characters to an already terrible soap family drama, where nothing matters and it's all about who does who. Again same conclusion, as a local of Antwerp it's interesting because of the location but don't bother watching this crap if you aren't.
