I'm astonished at how my evaluations differ from the other reviewers. IMHO, this is one of the BEST Professor T episodes.
Yes, the setting has drastically changed. However, Professor T still manages to see deeper than those around him and penetrate into the dark hearts of the people keeping secrets that hurt others.
As I wrote in my review of the previous episode, running over the boy was a cheap writer's gimmick to create motive at the expense of a believable story. Thankfully, that subplot (which I REALLY thought was going to go wacky when those two assassins showed up with their giant teddy bears) never interfered with the main story.
There were parts of the story that momentarily seemed disjointed. But everything fell into place when T gave his elucidation of the true events. That was a great scene and thankfully, the actors did not blow it but instead they held fast to their characterizations. You could feel the tension building in the room as T was talking. IT WAS GREAT !!!
So I vehemently disagree with those who failed to appreciate the genius of this episode. As far as the characters that others seem to miss . . . I don't miss Annelies and Daan. IMHO, that was the weakest part of the show.
Apparently we're three seasons in and STILL some people don't realize this series is called "Professor T." He's the show, people. Koen De Bouw gave a stellar performance during this episode. Walking a fine line between being impacted by his abrupt change of environment and yet maintaining his quirkiness despite the absurdity of trying to do so. That's not easy folks. De Bouw is so skilled, he makes it APPEAR to be easy. If you didn't appreciate him in seasons 1 & 2, take a good look at him now.
Professor T is alive and kicking. However, the end of this episode seems to suggest he's going to have to overcome some health challenges. Can't wait to see what happens next!
