Salamander

I often criticize the writer of the series, but after watching the sixth episode, I am not so sure anymore that I am doing it rightfully. Maybe it just works completely differently in Belgium than everywhere else. I really don't know anything about it, so it's possible that the prime minister comes home in the evening like an ordinary bank official, without being watched by a team of bodyguards, and it's also possible that a person whose sister works as a luxury prostitute becomes the prime minister. I don't really believe that, so I give it 2 stars. (12/20/2018)

Regardless of how it works in Belgium, the seventh episode really surprised me because instead of a below-average crime story, it brought a below-average romantic movie spiced up with an action scene. I was very amused by Jamie's reaction to the video he watched. When I remember how ready he was to take down Nicola to fulfill the task, I have to assume that he would do it with his eyes tightly closed:-) (12/20/2018)

I don't think that the creators could pleasantly surprise me anymore in the conclusion of the series. There is likely no escape from what they have cooked up themselves, and even if there were, there would be no one to carry out the escape. This is how clumsy Paul Gerardi must continue stumbling through the story, occasionally attacking someone, occasionally breaking into somewhere, simply Belgium... (12/21/2018)

At first, I thought it could be quite an action-packed episode that could improve the ratings, but then came a long sequence (and by that I mean really long) after which I finally got to the big action-packed conclusion of the episode, and it turned out the way it turned out. Some moments were disgustingly predictable, only for the seasoned detective to perfectly surprise me by forgetting about the sniper due to his impending senile dementia, behind which he had originally hidden so swiftly. That was truly a mockery. (12/21/2018)

The tenth episode was truly a "dignified" ending to the second season and actually to the entire series. The creators disregarded logic, the storyline (however poor it was), and any coherence with reality, and focused on a rushed ending so they could move on and devote themselves to some new, equally high-quality project.
