Still two episodes to go, but this series is doing something to me. The acting and story, just fantastic! Especially hats off to Pommelien and Willem, who play their role very powerfully!
The series is well put together from start to finish, with a good cliffhanger at the end of each episode, so that you remain very curious to see how the story will continue. The following topics are all discussed; the difference between rich and poor, privileges, power, affairs, abuse within a relationship, betrayal, orientation, mental health and addictions. The series receives a lot of criticism regarding the acting, but in my opinion that is unjustified. Knokke off definitely gets a good grade.
