Heer & meester de film

I am sad to have just seen the end to this tale and these characters! If you haven't watched the two seasons of TV shows, I highly recommend you do. We don't have enough engaging intrigue-type shows like this, that don't include gratuitous angst and violence. There is thievery and trickery, seldom murders, and we help get to the bottom of them. The action scenes take you back to classic movies, they can be tongue in cheek, but I love that. There are occasional fight scenes that are cool, but don't go on forever like American shows make them.

I applaud all those who put together this show, including the actors! I love every one of the regular characters. Everyone wants a Leo. Most of us have felt like a Frensdorf. The ladies are strong, the men are vulnerable... oh, and the scenery is a great bonus!

Without spoiling, I'll say we get the answer Valentijn has been seeking. He manages to work with all the justice department characters to foil the biggest challenge yet. There is some natural anti-climactic feel when you're done, of course... the show has ended. As another reviewer said, this one is darker (the menace AND the lighting!) than any previous episode. All the regulars are in this finale, which is great. We don't get much epilogue, which is fine with me.

If you haven't watched the show, this movie may not be much fun for you because it doesn't backtrack to tell you why he's doing what he's doing. But for those who have watched the show through two seasons, it's an obvious can't-miss. Thank you for making this one last romp! We will miss you.
