Review of Als de dijken breken

This miniseries really surprised me! The accuracy of the cultures in Holland and Belgium, the dialects, the 'opinions' of the 'different' people against one and other were pictured as they really are over here! I was in for just the disaster story, but the personal stories were all so realistic, relatable and very interesting. No big heroes, no super bad guys, just normal people as they would act in real life. Like someone who committed a crime, was not beeing used as an antagonist, it was not the black and white 2d character like we are used to from hollywood, it had real depth. 3D characters that weren't cliché, really special. The 'relationships' (good, bad, tolerable, intolerable) between characters makes this series special. The ending was perfect and made sense for all storylines. I am very impressed, especially because there were no political opinions beeing forced on the viewers. Bravo!
