9/10
Loved it mostly, really maybe 9.5

Warning: Spoilers
I am not going to go over the entire plot, just a few reasons why it doesn't get a 10.

1. Overuse of Iris's face. Sylvia Hoeks has an extremely attractive face, her other job is being a model. They seem to more and more from series 1 to 3 to linger on just showing her face. We get it, she is really pretty.

2. Elsie, the cheated-on wife, is really very attractive and seems a really good wife and mother, I am not sure what the motivation to cheat on her actually is.

3. Iris seems surprised at the collateral damage from leaving her prosecutor husband for the lawyer defending the gangster he is after and likewise the gangster-lawer didn't really think through dumping the DAUGHTER of the gangster, i.e. His father-in-law, to get with the prosecutor's wife. Can people actually be this horny and/or this dumb as adults?

4. In one scene Dutch police continuously interrogate a brain-damaged person until he breaks down with no lawyer present. Whatever they got out of him would be thrown out of a USA trial like used Kleenex.

5. Iris (ear-is in Dutch) seems happy with her job and husband and child, but for some reason will toss it all for random sex with some guy?

6. In one scene a character gets into a single-engine Piper aircraft to go from Holland to Panama. They got get about 800 miles and then have to swim a few thousand more!
