Firstly, I must say that Pierre Bokma's portrayal of David Cohen and Claire Bender's performance were outstanding. They played the roles of Jewish council members with such complexity that it was hard not to be moved by the moral dilemmas they faced.
However, Monic Hendrickx and Malou Gorter's performances fall short of expectations. Despite being praised as great actresses, they seem to consistently fall back on familiar character types, resulting in predictable character arcs that lack surprise or depth.
Despite this the show is beautifully made, its cinematography and score create a compelling atmosphere transporting viewers to the wartime struggles of Amsterdam's Jewish community. These technical elements contribute significantly to the overall impact of the show, elevating it beyond its flaws.
