Compelling series from The Netherlands
I like this series because of the believable stories and the acting of Cees Geel, Maryam Hassouni and Huub Stapel. There are separate cases in each episode, but there is a continuing story about Ben Slachter who is believed by Internal affairs, (here called "Rijksrecherche") to be corrupt.
Of course there are flaws, like:
Spoilers
The female detective walks in the police station, with the criminal, disguised as a police officer to get drugs from confiscated drugs. Just one signature at the desk seems to be enough... The two perpetrators behaved insane, yelling and constantly waving with guns.
Of course I am Dutch and I even live in Rotterdam.
So I want to comment on dubbel_v.
The notary
There was an investigation by Stan Vroom (Cees Geel), but he could not get a warrant for the vault because of the confidentiality. But there were CSI people at work (in Dutch they are called "Technische recherche") Cees Geel asked the secretary if she could imagine that there were clients with criminal links. Not if the notary was a criminal himself!
The woman who kidnapped a severe criminal
Dubbel_v is nitpicking considering the terms here and is in my opinion incorrect. In The Netherlands is 15 hours for interrogation only at the police station. This can be extended to 3 days and is called "inverzekerkeringstelling". After that the suspect has to be brought to the "Rechter commissaris" and that is exactly what Hein Berg (Huub Stapel) is doing. He asks for "inbewaringstelling" for 14 days. That is the third phase in "voorlopige hechtenis".
So to call him an idiot, well... Dubbel_v should check his knowledge of the Dutch language.
The woman had a plan to punish the child molester. While she was in custody and she could not feed him in the cellar, she thought it would not be murder, because she was unable to feed him because of the custody.
Huub Stapel said two things: 1/ The plan will work if the police isn't aware, but the police knows, so he gave her the choice to give the location. And then she would not be charged with murder.
2/ The charge was giving help to the escape of a criminal. She refused earlier to give the location because of self incrimination. Huub Stapel says: if you tell us the location, it does not affect your charge of helping the escape. You only tell us where he is.
So before writing a one-star review he should check his facts and listen carefully what is said in Dutch before calling Huub and the writers idiots...
End spoilers
I can recommend this, provided that there is an English translation, don't know if there is...
