If you like a great crime drama series that is just not another US TV show, I'd readily suggest you check out "Undercover", and draw your won conclusion. Can't wait to watch Season 2 (released in 2020) and Season 3 (released in 2021). I started watching and immediately saw the initial 3 episodes, and then finished off what turns out was Season 1 in mere days. That is, until last week when Netflix "suggested" it to me, so I played the trailer and I almost fell of the couch when I heard the Flemish/Limburgs/Dutch accents. Even though I grew up in Belgium (although now a longtime US resident), I had never heard of this series. Tom Waes and Anna Drijver, the 2 cops who go undercover, are outstanding as the leads, but there are a ton of other characters. At its very essence, this is no different that a solid soap opera, except that this is set in the crime and drug settings of Limburg, Belgium. Almost from the get-to, I was pulled in and then the show wouldn't let me go anymore. When I see that a movie or series is "inspired by true event", I typically take it that the producers took some facts and built a compelling story around it, nothing more, nothing less. The main reason, is that this is a prime example of great story telling. Couple of comments: there are several reason why I ended up taking a special liking to this crime drama series (more on that later). At this point we are 10 min into Episode 1. How better to get that than by having 2 cops, a Belgian guy and a Dutch woman, go undercover into Bouman's weekend hangout at a local camping site. But the Belgian police needs more concrete evidence against Bouman. We then get introduced to Ferry Bouman, a Dutch giving living in Belgium and suspected to be the ringleader of the ecstasy manufacturing operation. We see a sign saying "Welkom in Limburg", and we are reminded that Limburg (the Belgian province bordering the Netherlands) is a major producer of ecstasy pills. In May 2021, Netflix released Ferry, a film prequel to the series.As Episode 1 of "Undercover" (2019 release from Belgium 10 episodes of about 50 min each) opens, we are reminded that the series in "inspired by true events". ![]() The full first season consisting of 10 episodes premiered on Netflix streaming on May 3, 2019.
