Verwarrend

Warning: Spoilers
Persoonlijk vond ik het verhaallijn verwarrend. In het begin is niet duidelijk waar Esra (Dilan Yurdakul) 'gevangen' zit. Dat blijkt jeugddetentie te zijn. Maar eerlijk, zij is 30 en ziet er ook niet uit als een minderjarige.

Door het hele verhaal heen zie je Esra en Greg vastzitten. Of dit flashbacks of flashforwards zijn is ook steeds onduidelijk. In het slot wordt zijn haar geverfd. Dan wordt mij pas duidelijk dat het gevangenschap dus flashbacks zijn. Maar hoe zij eruit zijn gekomen, geen flauw idee.

Ook werden er 5 minuten besteed aan een handeltje in de gevangenis (of waar ze op dat moment mochten zitten...). Maar hoe zij aan een toegangspas komen, waarom zij dit doen en wat de gevolgen zij: I don't know.

Oja, niet te vergeten dat Esra zichzelf verwondt. Ook dit stuk blijft heel oppervlakkig/wazig.

Kortom: zoveel onnodige vragen en verwarring. Ze hebben teveel willen vertellen in te weinig tijd.

Exaggerated

Supposedly based on a set of true incidents, I'm sure that many of them were changed or enhanced for this series. One thing I can believe though is the stultifying horror of oppression by 2nd generation Muslim immigrant men of their sisters. I worked in social services for some years and in many cases involving such families that were flagged up to us, the brothers were far worse than the parents in trying to control their siblings. Esra's plight rang true.

After the twin disasters of the wedding and the robbery, going on the run might have seemed the only thing the couple could do.

They were an oddly kind couple of crims. They didn't generally kill their victims even if they could identify them. It was their naivety though that got them into big trouble towards the end of the series and led to their final downfall.

I enjoyed this romp and watched the lot in one evening. But it's not worth more than five stars.

Without a doubt one of the best dutch series ever made. Bonnie & Clyde make Undercover look like a child's play. The characters Esra and Greg are very well developed and although they are criminals you find yourself being in there corner. Based on the dutch Bonnie & Clyde. A black fairytale!
