      Joel Keller Decider Dirty Lines does a good job of taking on a not-so-serious topic with a good mix of comedy and personal drama. Apr 9, 2022 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Dirty Lines is about sex, then, both the real, physical kind and the simulated, aural you know what I mean! kind, but its really about how people relate to and think about sex, on multiple levels, and from multiple perspectives. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      j t Unexpected refreshingly funny TV show with some deeper moments, worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member You might expect some raunchy show with loads of sex, but the show turns out to be more of a celebration of our true desires and fantasies rather than just people honking each other. It contains everything you'd expect from a great comedy series. It's funny, raw and has the right amount of drama played out by a terrific cast!!! The show can even be surprisingly educational at times. The first episode has a bit too many introductions, but from the second episode it really takes off. The first season closes with two beautiful last episodes. !!! SPOILERS !!!: Very curious how the second season would play out. It seems like the brothers will build up their business again, this time even internationally, while Marly runs the Dutch division. A lot of plot lines are still open. How serious is the relationship between Marly and Frank going to be after the tease at the end of the first season? Will Ramon really stay with Natasha and crush Alexander's heart? Will Natasha give birth to Frank's child and keep it a secret for Ramon? And what's going be the deal with Janna and Mischa? Hopefully we'll get to know a bit more about Ronny and Nina as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review michael k Amazing show! It looks and feels really authentic (trust me, I was a teen in Amsterdam in the 80s ;-). The acting is really good and the story is told in a fascinating and fresh way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed it a lot! I really love the way the plot is narrated and evolves, it reminds me of fleabag a little. I think that it's very different to a lot of what Netflix has been doing lately which is very good: not cheesy, original and engaging. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing show, great cast, great acting and a great story. Even though breaking the fourth wall only works on Deadpool, it seemed to be done brilliantly here ! I love how you get thrown into an orgy of events, being shocked at first by some events and then growing to love those who shocked you the most ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Review I wrote on IMDB: Really good! The first episode you need for the basic plot set up. Then from episode 2 it gets really good. Chris Peters as Ramon is a real discovery! It really catches the Zeitgeist of that time. Some people are talking about wokeness? Well perhaps Holland was and always has been woke. But the people with their regressive orthodox minds are trying to reverse things to the 1800's. What those people mean with: they don't want wokeness to be 'forced' upon them,' is code for: they want to discriminate, they want to suppress people sexually and they don't want others to express themselves in anyway they want it. They can go watch Russian cable tv, that will please them for sure. I'm old enough to know what it was like in the late 1980's and the 1990's, in The Netherlands. Woke? Nonsense. In the Randstad area (the biggest megalopolis of Europe with at its heart the 4 big cities of The Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) the Dutch were and are still like this. People of every skin colour and sexual preference, the house party scene, the sex telephone lines, the actual sex people had and have: it's a reality. So reality is woke then. Conservatives can go watch all white Friends or Seinfeld and finish with Fox News. Dirty Lines is rooted in real life. Great actors, and great production. With many funny moments.
