The most notable part of this series was the general ineptness and response time of Dutch police.
After a terrorist attack occurs in the center of Amsterdam at a market or mall, the Dutch security forces, which appears to consist of roughly 10 men, is called up out at their house in Groningen or Maastricht. After taking their morning cappuccinos they decided to bike to the scene of the crime. On children's bikes. This all left ample time for the terrorists and victims to get to know eachother.
Besides this, the 4 low-IQ'd employees at the Dutch FBI (aivd) are only focussed on interrogating the main character's wife, all while one of them is dating the boss of the main character(?).
The acting varies and the story is flat out predictable. The action scenes are actually pretty ok except for the realisticness of it all.
This leads to a rating of 3 or 4 stars. But in the NL we call that a masterpiece! I recommend.
