A big international crew and a strong earthy feel from the two main characters.
Personally, I tuned in to watch Koen De Bouw whom I had loved in the original Belgian version of Professor T.
Despite being a big noise in his homeland, he has a lesser role here, not appearing until the 22nd minute.
As with the later Red Light series, he plays a Belgian detective investigating prostitutes and trafficking but, so far, this series is far superior.
I am not used to seeing a multitude of languages in a show, having gained a few words of Dutch from the Professor T show and German from many war films.
Unlike British shows, we managed to get through the first episode with no lesbians, gays or too many other minorities filling up more airtime than they would if the real world were reflected.
A great opening to the story.
Hopefully, Koen will be a bit less unkempt in future, ironically telling his boss that she should comb her hair.
Good start.
