Excellent miniseries

This is by far the best Dutch television series I've ever seen. the acting is great, the story is captivating, the dialogue is great... The coolest thing about the series is that it depicts the characters and the different cultures in a very sincere way. It's not moralising at all.

The story is about a young Dutch hockey-player who falls in love wit a moroccan pizza-delivery boy. However, the boy's brother is in jail for some drug business and the girl's father is a police detective who's colleague did business with the boy's brother... It's a modern Romea And Juliet tale and it's the beginning of a great future for both Tara en Hanin.
