Summary: |
With a theme song that topped the UK charts, crime stories that weren't shy about sex and drugs and gangsters, a precinct made up largely of Amsterdam canals, and a sulky blond hero at its heart, the British detective series ran for 32 episodes over five series between 1972 and 1992 as British audiences were captivated by their first truly international detective. Reimagined in the Amsterdam of 2018 and beyond, aiming to captivate audiences all over again with new, compelling crime mysteries. "Commissaris Piet Van der Valk ... is an engaging, unapologetic, street smart detective. He leads his dynamic team as they tackle high profile cases in the worlds of art, politics, addiction, mysticism and fashion in contemporary Amsterdam. With gutsy and fiercely competent right-hand woman Inspector Lucienne Hassell ... the ladies' man Sergeant Brad de Vries ... brilliant Lt. Job Cloovers ... pathologist Hendrik Davie ... and Chief Commissaris Julia Dahlman ... the team must solve a raft of mysterious crimes using astute human observation and inspired detection."-- |
