Storyline

Brussel is a 10-part series which is mainly set behind the scenes of the European political arena. In this multi-thread story, all the characters are on their way to Brussels, or live there. It is a place of power and impotence, of love and betrayal, of dreams and bitterness. After many years, Moniek van Dalen [Johanna ter Steege], board member of a Dutch-British oil company, sees her former lover Viktor Petrenko [Alexander Lazarev] again. Viktor is a Russian billionaire oligarch who became rich after the fall of the Soviet Union. Both are in Brussels to lobby for their own energy interests, but there is only room for one deal. Major Mohammed de Vries [Daniel Boissevain], a decorated Dutch soldier, is also in Brussels; he is looking for his radicalized son.

Nice, but a little bit superficial

The first episode was quite exciting so my expectation about the development of the characters and the story was high. As the description of the story says: everybody is on his/her way to Brussels. Nice how all different stories come together. However the disadvantage of many stories that come together is the fact that we do not get to know the characters very much. Especially not in 10 episodes. Sometimes I thought: "Why" and "How". The series only shows the facts. People do what they do. The why stays a mystery. I missed the answer on that question now and then.
