Van der Valk (2020–2023)

it is not great but still worth watching.

[7/10 · 3 May 2020]

I am old enough to have liked the original series. I think it is pointless to compare both series. I hope this series get recommissioned and if it does can I suggest it tries to be a bit more Dutch in its plots? Apart from the backgrounds there is little in this that makes me think the location is adding much to the plots. I have been to Amsterdam 4 or 5 times,it has been described as the most liberal place in the world. Given the city's liberal culture I have to laugh at people on here complaining how PC the drama is. I liked the Rowan Atkinson Maigret,it was very French.
