Hidden Assets

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.

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.

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.

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.

All the cast are believable in their roles. The production values are quite high with only a few oddly staged indoor scenes looking washed out. The story is quite complex and although I enjoyed it, we had to keep pausing to work on what was going on.

This is much better than a lot of the cop shows around. There is also a degree of humour that brings the characters to life.
