User Reviews

Brilliant dutch drama, finally

after decades of almost or barely acceptable drama on Dutch TV, Divorce is a big relief. Finally beautiful photography, good music, intelligent script and superb acting, delivered as one very attractive package.

The story is well paced; Dutch TV drama used to deliver copious amounts of convoluted developments one tumbling over the other, especially when there was a need for humor; in Divorce, the makers have finally found the courage to allow the odd bit of silence, and to occasionally finish a line of thought, and what an improvement that is! Characters are totally credible, and though some would argue that the story is light, I would suggest that a light story superbly delivered can be art, or literature if you want. I will mention Katja Herbers (Joyce) and Dirk Zeelenberg (David) in particular for consistent superb acting throughout the two seasons that the series now spans.
