Hidden Assets

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.

After watching an abysmal BBC offering I thought it was risky going straight into this. A very pleasant surprise. High class drama, very convincing story line and well-acted throughout.

The plot kept me guessing, and I loved the camera-work and the acting.

Nice to see a drama that didn't get over-stretched. Perhaps another series? I'd be happy to see more of Emer and Christian.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed this , thought the whole thing was very well paced with none of the usual finding A whole back story about a hard up difficult life copper !!

Just went for the story and it didn't stop . I thought the whole thing well put together . Of course there was a few plot holes , after all it's a story in a limited time .

6 episodes came and went.
