Le Mauvais Camp: La série

There are some parts in the serie that are questionable or somewhat predictable. And yes, the acting is not all great, I really expected more from for instance Tygo Gerbrandt. But Ferry was just phenomenal. The dark side of the drugscriminal was really frightening, and it created a scary but beautiful contrast against the love for Daantje. It was really good and convincing chemistry between the two lead actors. The plot is maybe a bit to straight forward, but the characters and the way they slowly slide deeper and deeper into the criminal underworld, and how it changes their characters, is really well played. A must see!

I'm from Brabant, grew up close to where Lammers (lead actor) was born. Half the cast comes from the region. Yes, this series is dramatized, made for entertainment, sometimes cringey and too flashy, but that's okay we're not watching a documentary.

Some of you might not understand that to me, this series is not that far fetched at all. XTC has had a major major influence on border region between The Netherlands and Belgium, followed by all the social/economical/ecological problems.

The story is good, acting is really good for Lowlands-standards. You'll enjoy this one, it's well written.

Also in this case I don't even think you'll need to watch Undercover before Ferry. Maybe start with Ferry the Movie, then Ferry, then Undercover. No idea why they're making prequels not sequels but I'm not complaining.

They have made it very entertaining again. If you liked undercover and Ferry the movie, you will enjoy this as well! Great acting, great characters and it all gives you some context on how it all went down before undercover.

The build up is good, the ending is good and you can see the character development being done nicely and easily. I really hope season 2 is planned for next year. We watched all 8 episodes in 2 evenings and now, we have to wait!

I must say, they have dramatised a lot, but I think thats actually part of the theme of this series. I think its fair to say that it gets boring if all series have the same theme, same thing going on all the time.

Very good series, if you don't know Ferry just don't miss it, you will not regret!, he is a very special man and he is not afraid of anything.

The choice of actors seems perfect to me. I love the actress Elise Schaap in her role as Ferry's partner, very authentic and realistic, and of course Frank Lammers as Ferry, simply wonderful!

The story is very well told and has many good exciting moments, and that touch of comedy that suits Ferry very well due to his personality.

I found it very exciting and not at all boring, even the ending left me satisfied.

It doesn't seem at all comparable to Latin American series, for example Narcos, and I can't stand comparing. It's a criminal story in Brabant, Holland, where the world of drugs is very present. Ferry is just unique!

Don't miss it! It has all the elements to have fun and enjoy, action, crime and funny moments.

I recommend you see it in the original version, in Dutch with subtitles. It is the only way to understand it better through intonation.

If you like the prior show/movie, you'll enjoy this. Has the same look, feel, and enjoyable plot. It's not too riveting, not too predictable, not super intellectual, but is simple fun to watch. My only criticism, which I think exists in the prior stories, is how stupid almost all of the primary characters seem most of the time... terrible decision making, tons of impulse behavior, lots of repeat mistakes with zero learning, and lots of taking things at face/surface level... which seems to be the main engine behind the drama of the show as poor decision making and lack of control create problems.
