Payback in Amsterdam

A musician has acid thrown at her and she later dies.

Van der Valk finds out that she was working with an investigative journalist.

Maybe someone in the orchestra had a grudge against the musician. Maybe it was a jilted lover.

Later the journalist dies in a nasty way. Van der Valk ends up investigating the darkest underbelly of Amsterdam.

The tentacles are widespread and even reach the police department.

The second series of Van der Valk bows out with more grisly deaths. There are links to the #MeToo movement.

Sexual corruption, harassment and intimidation is brought to the fore.

It does explain why there seemed to be a police official whose presence throughout the series was so far pointless.

Oh the final scene ends with a bit more of the Van der Valk theme tune.
