Grenslanders

Grenslanders is a very thrilling show. It is that thrilling and intriguing , that waiting for the next episode is a challenge. Beautiful shots of characteristic areas in Zeeland, its landscape and unique sea vieuws, Good acting and a terrific Sceenplay. Strong characters and roles, outstanding screenplay, humour, irony, professional camera operating and directing.

I wanted to give it a 6,5. But a 6 would be too low.

It's an interesting serie. I am dutch, but sometimes i didn't even understand the dutch language. I think it's the switch between belgian and dutch.

I loved to see Jasmin Sendar but she lookes like someone from Shaft. ( the clothing, the car). It doesn't look like a series from the 80tees, so i don't understand the clothing etc. The character she plays is a harsh woman with a history. It becomes annoying, she tries too hard. The commissioner played by Fedja Huet is also overacted with a different accent than his own. The dutch policestation is a joke. I don't know what the makers were thinking. The woman behind the desk lookes like a character from Toren C. The comedy should have been left out. I cannot take it serious. A stripping show, come on!

If this serie represents the dutch and belgian police working together, it's a joke.

But still as a fan of these sorts of series, i will watch it further. Even so, even if it gets better in another episode, The start left me with a mixed feeling if i enjoy this or not. So much grumpy characters, too much. It's a little depressing.

This series by Int title Floodland is an epic series. It deals - in an abstract way - with actual themes like migration, racism and xenophobia, guilt, revenge, criminal rituals, # Metoo and loneliness. The series is set up in a cinematic way, the landscapes are interestingly spooky and desolate. The cast is excellent, we liked Wim Willaert as Carlos Tierneteyn a lot. Also newcomers like Adana Unigwe ( only 16 years old), Robin Boissevain and Anne Laure Vandeputte are acting very well. The serie lifts off even more from episode 4. Has an interesting soundtrack also.

Don't bother watching this. It's full of grotesk characters, which makes it almost unwatchable.

Script is really worthless - full of clichés and stupid useless scenes, most of the acting dreadful. The only thing that kept me watching is the scenery shots & Koen De Bouw.
