... watched duplicate-version-production 'Betrayal'.. wasn't very good... so when a reviewer mentioned seeing Dutch version was most interested ... differences are striking... you can tell within first episode that Overspel took prize for Best Dramatic Series at 2012 Netherlands Film Festival for a reason... it's very good, well done through first-season... second is good, just little-less-so, early episodes less weighty, ending was long time coming
... leads are perfect for their parts, chemistry between them is well evident from first they meet... for him a younger, very-attractive-stranger, longing for passion was winning a lottery (not so much for his family though... never-is)... she was captivated right from the start, learning-realizing she never had what she's now discovering with this new lover... other stories run-alongside, but theirs the glue keeps all together
... the Dutch overspel translates in English to adultery... he chats her up, sees-wants this very-alluring-attractive-younger-woman, doesn't feel as guilty as affair-sex becomes "falling-in-love"... she ever-slightly resists at first, but physical attraction very powerful draw when you are weakened feeling you're 'missing-out' on something in life... at twenty she never should have gotten married, especially not to him, and definitely not had a kid so soon... rest is all aftermath from the affair involving all other family-members
... be sure to look up the S. Scotney review at TheArtsDesk.. well written-succinct in its depiction of high-worth of this Scandinavian-production... like he depicts, it never needed a remake that was always fated to be less not-more-or-equal.
