Red Letters = THE SPHINX OF DELFT (refers to the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer)
Wow. I am impressed, but be careful. As a user of this platform myself I have looked at comments, and some have been censored when you go against the "protocal". Just warning. I do think in the same matter as you though. Another problem with this show is the actions of the police officers wandering uninvited to everybody's domiciles because they want too. Programming public acceptance?
What are all these English people doing working for the Dutch police? Do we not have actors capable of a Dutch accent? Could we not have a new detective rather than a revamp of a show from 40+ years ago just updated with Political Correctness and poor acting. I lost interest after 20 or so minutes but struggled to the end in hope it wouldn't get any worse, but unfortunately it did. Please do not waste any more money making a second series, instead spend it on a new detective or at least an old one that's not been made into a TV series yet there are plenty to choose from and some very good ones, maybe we could start a pole to give some of these inept TV producers some ideas.
