STREAMING

Amsterdam Vice

Walter Presents/All 4, From Friday

Police officer-turned-author AC Baantjer is one of the Netherland­s’ most successful crime novelists; his series focusing on Inspector De Cock and his sidekick Sergeant Vledder continues to be hugely popular 11 years after its creator’s death. This new eight-part series is a prequel to the novels and is set in the titular Dutch city during the 1980s. The central character is Detective Judd Cox, who has just been promoted to the toughest department in Amsterdam. He and his

new partner Montijn’s first case involves a murder, but their investigat­ion leads them to something far more incredible – an attack set to take place on the day of Princess Beatrix’s coronation. Waldemar Torenstra, Tygo Gernandt and Yannick Jozefzoon star.
