Review of 1985

1985 (2023)
9/10
Very confronting, realistic and emotional.

I fear that we'll have to wait 2 more generations to know the harsh truth of this "cold" case because of too many people still living being (partially) implemented.

That said this TV series gives a very good view of the period of terror Belgium lived in for almost 7 years, the manipulation of the public and most of all the system that should have protected us.

Casting is well done and as usual remarkable acting from Peter Van Den Begin. Even for the generation which did not live in those years it gives a clear view on the storyline being able to follow this TV serie.

Also well done is that at the end of each episode you see real tv/news footage of that period and an explanation of the facts actually known.

I also enjoyed the very beautiful soundtrack.

This TV serie made me to read more on the still unsolved subject. A must see, not only for Belgian citizens because each country will have a similar " unsolved mess".
