De Twaalf - Season 2

The second season of 'De Twaalf' (The Twelve) focuses on the fictional 'Cinderella murder'. Stepdaughter and father are accused of the murder, the question is whether the Court of Assisen will find them guilty or not.

Marianne (Katrien De Ruysscher, Undercover) has been murdered and her husband Anton Bergman (Koen De Graeve, De Kraak) and stepdaughter Julie (Lou Miller) are on trial for this. As is customary in Belgium (as in the Netherlands until the beginning of the 19th century), the Court of Assisen is convened for this purpose. These assisen (jurors) must judge the suspects together with the court (consisting of judges and counselors).

In this season too we see a diversity of people in the jury, the most striking of which are court journalist Nico (Emilie De Roo, Nonkels), Murad (Yassine Ouaich, Déjà Vu), Catherine (Chris Nietvelt, Red Light) and Simon (Bart Hollanders, Callboys). Just like in season 1, the daily life of the assisen plays a major role. Problems within the family, the unsolicited distribution of nude photos of an ex, and rape are all issues that the jury members have to deal with and aspects that play a role in their functioning within the jury.

Because that's what it's all about in the end, who killed Marianne? Every episode, a little glimpse of the veil is lifted at the end and we as viewers become a little wiser.

More than in the first season, there is room for what the lawyers have to deal with. The various lawyers (played by Peter Van den Begin (Matroesjka's), Inge Paulussen (Hoodie), Dirk Van Dijck (Onder Vuur) and Line Pillet (13 Commandments) fight diligently for their clients, but occasionally doubt how far they will go and even about what exactly happened on that fateful evening.

Because that's what it's all about in the end, who killed Marianne? Every episode, a little glimpse of the veil is lifted at the end and we as viewers become a little wiser.

In the second season, De Twaalf maintains the high level of the first season. It provides a clear, bright and realistic picture of the justice system of our southern neighbors. The story is once again well put together and the acting is excellent. Due to the design of the series, you as a viewer are drawn into the story and you soon find yourself reasoning about what happened and whether the suspects are guilty or not. Only with the last episode will you find out whether the jury (and you as a viewer) was right.

In addition, the various storylines that are explained are interesting and as a viewer, you are drawn into the lives of the suspects, close family members and the jurors. It never feels rushed and enough time is taken to properly present all those storylines and round them off into a beautiful whole.

As far as I know, nothing is known yet about a possible third season for De Twaalf, but if they can maintain the level of the past seasons then I wouldn't mind it at all.
