Professor T.

Like other reviewers, I was not convinced this was for me--I thought I knew what it was going to be. Stick with it, it is surprising how this holds your attention. The storyline and the characters are intriguing. Professor T is brilliantly, certifiably crazy, but remains functional, others care about him and accept his quirkiness--. It is also very funny. The music is also terrific.

In spite of potential unreality and exaggeration (I am not sure that a person like that could be in contact with young people and assist authorities nowadays), but the concept and its realisation are really distinct. True, the cases are not equally interesting, but when the wrongdoer could be guessed in advance, there is always a twist in his-her motive and some aspect the viewer (as well as the police) was unable to ascertain...

The gem of this Series is undoubtedly Koen de Bouw - he is really something, so different from his other performances; I have also briefly looked at remake trailers and must state that no other actor in the role of Professor T. Is up to this task. Plus, here my another favourite was Goele Derick as Ingrid Sneyers. Well, the remaining cast was good as well, though I was not fond of certain replacements in Seasons 2 and 3... As for the latter, I disagree with those claiming that Season 3 is worse or unnecessary, I find it pleasant change of venues and skilful roundup of the story, no hasty finish due to less viewers, lack of funds, etc.

Thus - 10 points for performances and depiction of "crazy moments", 8 for the smoothness - 9 in total. Good work!

Rarely today you find a show that is original and fresh ,well written with great casting. What a great commentary of life and relationship that is humorous and bluntly exposing of the frailty and hurts we live with and communicate through to others all of this in the guise of a detective drama. Well done excellent production ,I'm only hopeing there are more to come.

T. is spectacularly good. It has humour, high quality acting. The storyline and dialogue are surprising and captivating. The direction is exquisite, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes chillingly emotional. Koen De Bouw is totally different from all his other roles, his comic timing and humour is spot on. Ella Leyers is very natural and spontaneous, and touching in her scenes with the equally authentic Gène Bervoets. Herwig Ilegems is a real comic gem, we already knew that, but this time he proves that he can be very believable in a dramatic vein. T. is not the classical whodunit, but it is thriller, comedy and drama all in once. It succeeds on all three levels. This series deserves a lot of viewers!

This is a series worth watching even with subtitles, although any subtitles add to the experience in some cases, such as crime series,in our opinion. (We are fans of Scandi Noir on SBS Australia) While initially a strange series it draws you in, with a series of subplots and the eccentric professor center stage. Some have mentioned Monk in these reviews by comparison, but I think it was much harder to suspend disbelief in that show and argue that this is an infinitely better series to watch. Its European flavour is far more digestible that American slick offerings. Ingrid Sneyers (Goele Denck) is a hoot to watch and her interactions with the professor are enjoyable, as is the mother of professor T. Best to make up your own mind but we give it a full score for its eccentric individuality.
