Bad writing, great concept!
10 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The concept of the show is great! And it's set in Amsterdam, about an old family with a lot of MYSTERY! Awesome! Sadly, the characters are written so dumb! Every episode it seems they set out to do something, then at least one character purposefully or accidentally does something to Ruin that easy plan! I know there wouldn't be a show if the mystery was solved fast, but the characters do really dumb things that contradict their typical intellect and behavior. Why can't the writers make Anika and Tess and the little girl smarter? Anika is the most annoying of the bunch. Sorry, but she really is. I really want to like this show, but the dumb writing makes it very difficult to forgive the obvious bad writing. Even Scooby Doo mystery incorporated characters and writing are better than on this show. Again, I want to like the show, but the writing needs to improve. And why are the parents so careless? It seems they don't care if anybody goes to prison. The parents need to discipline their children more, lol. Or at least teach them more. Do these children go to school?! Come on. Improve the writing. This show seems to cater to older children, not younger children, so I'm sure the writing can be better and the viewers can understand. I'm 31! Maybe my brain can predict things in this show, but still, the writing can be much better. I think that's the only flaw I see with the show. The character are just written to be very dumb and clumsy. In one episode, only the youngest siblings went to school, but then SKIPPED school to play tag! Why didn't the other siblings go to school?! Maybe I'm too specific, but this show has potential to be great, without the clumsy writing. Best way to describe the writing of the characters is like a person is looking for something, but when they're about to find it, and it's roght in front of them, AND THEY SEE IT, they choose to turn away and keep looking! That's how I describe the writing of the characters trying to solve the mystery! They always change course, even though they're on track, and they miss it.
