Hidden Assets

When a terrorised attack takes place in Antwerp, at the same time an Irish police department dedicated to collecting money made from organised crime in Ireland. It turns out the laundering operation they are investigating is linked to the terrorised attack in Belgium.

This results in both departments joining together to solve their respective crimes. Very much in the style of the Bridge an unlikely alliance is formed between two detectives from each country.

What result's is a very entertaining crime drama with plenty of plot twists and the mandatory cliffhanger ending to each episode. 8/10.

Fine crime drama about a joint operation between Irish and Belgian police involving murder, terrorism, money laundering and corruption. I have watched both series and rate both highly. Although series one has a satisfactory conclusion it does leave a few questions which enables series two to continue the story. Nearly all the main characters from the first series continue into the second with the one obvious change where the lead Irish detective Angeline Ball is replaced by Nora- Jane Noone, both are good but personally I preferred Angeline. The main Belgian detective is played by Wouter Hendrickx, I really enjoyed his underplayed performance. Again the second series ends satisfactorily but leaves an oportunity for another series, but I have no idea if this is planned. If you like a coherent crime story without over dramatic CGI nonsense this is well worth ten hours of your time.

Thoroughly enjoyed this and it deserves its current 7.6 rating imo. Good storyline and casting - although I wasn't familiar with many of them- and builds to a good if somewhat rushed ending. Clearly begging for a second season the way that the last scene is shot.

Some of the reviewers have given it a panning which I don't think it deserves when you look at some of the dross like Rules Of The Game that's out there currently.

A good piece of entertainment that wasn't stretched out too far like so many these days. (Netflix seems to like eight episodes, but not every storyline needs it.) while there were a few of the usual plot holes and unlikely turn of events, Hidden Assets has fewer of them than most similar shows. It's not The Bridge or Unforgotten, but it's worth watching and I'll definitely be looking out fir Season 2.

Set in Ireland and Belgium, there's a lot to enjoy in crime drama 'Hidden Assets', whose dense and juicy plot proceeds at a lively pace throughout. Notably, the Irish police force features a four-strong chain of command, all of them female; also one of the leading suspects is also a woman. But there are also some trashier elements: a fair amount of expository dialogue; a data expert who fits the cliches of the idiot-savant in her ability to see patterns that no-one else can; a lead character of inappropriate cockiness who, in the first episode, travels to Belgium, breaks into a flat without authorisation, and suffers no penalty; and a final shoot-out with several ludicrous aspects. It's still good fun, but not quite serious drama.
