The Golden Hour

The Dutch series Het Gouden Uur ("The Golden Hour") is a good and realistic thriller series. I finished it last night. Since I live in The Netherlands the language is of course no problem for me.

The series is about several terrorist attacks in Amsterdam. We see the police, the Dutch CIA called AIVD, the terrorists and we follow the hunt for the terrorists.

Dutch script maker Simon de Waal was inspired by the Jason Bourne films: the same fast-paced action but also the same superficial and often vulgar communication between the characters. That's the problem with Dutch films and series: the characters do not communicate professionally.

I've seen a lot of series like Het Gouden Uur made by Scandinavian and British producers and they are so much better: the same fast action and the characters always communicate in a very civilized and professional way.
