Klem

Klem is a gripping Dutch thriller series featuring an acclaimed cast. The story line is credible, and the unease of the initially very innocent tax official - who is slowly sucked into more criminal enterprises - is relatable.

Where a dull "taxman" finds himself drawn into the criminal world of murder and fraud. Script has some flaws, but if you're not too critical, it works.

Decent effort but not execution, could have been done in half the episodes. They drop in a dark comedy spin to it but (curiously) only in the last episode so that doesn't work, either.

...in the Netflix era, but this one stands out.

"Klem" is the director's debut from Ish Ait Hamou and he delivers quite a beautiful short film. The storyline is quite simple but the short succeeds in our emotional engagement and also with a beautiful understanding.
