What I thought about the latest episode of Undercover

undercover

Oooohhh yes yes YES. Admittedly, I was quite angry when Netflix announced that the new season of Undercover wouldn't be released all at once. I had stated that I would ‘wait until the whole season is online’ before starting it. But honestly, who was I kidding? Of course, I was glued to the screen last night. Way too curious. As if I would wait until November to see how Ferry is doing. NO WAY. And pfff, I found the first episode pretty intense, you know? You understand: this piece is full of spoilers about yesterday.

1. WHAT? Did I miss the memo that Anna Drijvers' real-life lover Benja Bruijning is also in this? And that he plays her lover here? That's quite a welcome surprise because I have quite a crush on Benja. But damn, because I also just want Bob and Kim together. Ooooh, the inner conflict.

2. I actually missed that little Belgian accent. That people call you ‘madame’ instead of ‘mevrouw’. Sounds much fancier, right?

3. What. Is. Happening. HERE. Kim? Kim?! Earth to Kim? Hoooly guacamole, I did not see that beginning coming.

4. No, come on, they can't do that, Kim can't die within the first five minutes. Or is Benja going to take over then? I can't handle this at all.

5. Okay, okay. So Kim is obviously going to survive. But that Ferry, just fixing some scores while you're stuck. This is next-level underworld stuff.

6. I am very grateful for the subtitles during this bickering moment between Belgian Bob and Belgian ex.

7. Seriously, this can only happen in movies and series: someone who wants to see the patient at all costs and TADAAA — that person is just being wheeled around on the hospital bed. Talk about good timing.

8.Yesss, there he is. The man Ferry. Did you miss me? Right into a spicy conversation with a Wout. And I realize very well that I am also grateful for the subtitles at this moment.

9. Arms trade in Syria. After a season of drug trafficking at a campsite, they are clearly taking it a bit bigger.

10. ‘Transport? The same industry as I am,’ says the sketchy manager-owner. Transport of arms trade, I guess. Not agricultural machines as he says. I can go undercover too: I pick up on these things right away.

11. Wow, okay. Sinterklaas at El Dorado is the grimmest I've ever seen. Yikes.

12. This. Is. Intense. And really particularly grim. I am really speechless: it can't be that Kim really doesn't make it to episode two?

13. WHAT. NO. Hold on a second. Netflix?? Are we in contact?

14. The biggest spoiler ever is here, so really don't read further if you don't want to know but guys, this can't be? KIM? Kim, come back? This isn't funny anymore.

15. I already read on Facebook that people didn't see this episode coming. Well, that's quite the understatement of the year.

16. ‘Not the storyline I was hoping for,’ I also read. NO WAY. You can't be serious. The petition ‘Bring Kim back’ has been started.

17. Fair is fair, it is a first episode with guts. But whether I am happy with it, I am absolutely not sure yet.

18. Wow, I actually completely forgot that Ferry is also involved. Bob is also a dead man walking. If Bob gets kicked out in that second episode, I will stop watching. And I mean it. Well, I mean it at this moment.

19. No, okay, never mind: I can't wait for next week. Hoooooly shitballs, that was exciting.

Please let me know if you survived this episode because I really need to process this with multiple people. And what's with that cowboy theme? Are we going to have that the whole season? I feel like there are already a lot of storylines running and that I need to start taking notes to remember everything. But this was really a very bizarre episode, that's for sure.
