I watched Season 1 quite a while ago, and I quite enjoyed it, but I found Season 2, which I only watched this week, to be a good deal less enjoyable.
I am not sure how the writers and producers of the show wanted the series to be classified, but I felt it was extremely lightweight, and to be taken with a very small pinch of salt.
It was entertaining enough, and I certainly wasn't bored, although Mark Warren really doesn't bring much to his portrayal of Van Der Valk, and the supporting cast were nothing special either. Whoever designed the outfits worn by Maimie McCoy needs sacking, and Maimie herself needs to decide on an accent to use and stick to it. It comes across as a combination of northern and southern, with a slight Dutch twang, and her clothes and accent provide a distraction.
In my opinion the stories in the three 90 minute episodes had quite a few holes, but as long as you suspend your belief, and don't expect very much from the series, it may be worth a few hours of your time.
