This series Has a decent plot, but drags on for too long. 8 episodes is too many - it could have been covered easily in 6, or even 4 episodes. I stuck with it, purely out of curiosity to see how it ends.
The acting was good, but at times the series felt like a soap opera, rather than a crime drama.
(Won't do a lot for Brussels tourism).

Four episodes in, and I am bailing.
The show is professionally made and looks great, and I tried to like it, but not a single character even remotely appeals to me. They are all a bunch of skanky low-lifes, some despicable, some more pathetic than others, but that does not make them sympathetic, just pathetic. They have none of the redeeming qualities that can soften an anti-hero, like friendship, loyalty, quirky dreams, or even a sense of humor. What a dour bunch of losers!
I see that two of the young stars also wrote and created the show, so this must be a dream-project for them, but they need to come up with something much better than this if they want an audience that keeps streaming to the very end, eager to find out what happens. I could not care less.
