Witse

Although the plot follows the typical crime, mystery and solution plot, Witse is much more than a crime drama. It is a peek at Flemish culture and it's a nice way to imporove your Dutch. There are many hidden jokes and Easter eggs that hatch later on in every series.

I like Witse. I'm a fan of Belgium and the language, I learn a lot of Belgian pronunciations / words :-) The only character that I can't stand in the series is Annemie.

When they started broadcasting "Witse" several years ago, I really looked forward seeing it. I saw the most episodes of the first season, but after a while the quality the episodes started to fall. In the beginning I was satisfied and I thought Hubert Damen was giving an pretty good acting performance. The stories were good and it was an entertaining new police series. But then there where a few episodes with a very weak story and there were several scenes where the acting was extremely bad. It almost looked like some weak school play. I was very disappointed because it started very good. Maybe the script writing and acting became routine. I don't know what happened afterwards. Maybe the screenplays became better, maybe they didn't..? I don't know because I stopped watching.

Always the same concept every episode and it's very predictable. I wouldn't recommend it because it's boring too. If you're looking for good Belgian series: Undercover,tabula rasa,...

well i started watching Witse , i loved it at first but the last 2 episodes i saw on TV (dec 2006), were not that entertaining as they used to do! as "pourquoi_pas" said , maybe it's the writers ... i don't think it's a actors thing ... if the acting has not been done it a good way it 's the director who has to make the right the actors make it do the way he sees it, & if the director is satisfied or there is no more budget those things can happen that it turns out like this, i hope that "Witse" will return, i was sad when Dimitri Died, to me that was a lass ...

anyway , good luck to the team in doing a good job for Belgium television!
