Review by mttiro

At several places in this episode, the plot and writing are allowed to be very unrealistic and even predictable. No spoilers--but there are some places where the plot-progression seems very amateurish. This series has so much more possibility than it shows. The beautiful, exotic, and exciting Amsterdam locales are not being used well. And the skills, both mental and especially physical, of the Amsterdam cops are not being put to best use. Finally, I reject the premise that veteran, experienced homicide detectives like they're supposed to be can be surprised, shocked, beat to the punch, and overcome by the bad guys as often as they are.
