Summary/Review:
My son encouraged be to binge watch this Nickelodeon tv series about a family of foster children in Amsterdam who solve mysteries in Amsterdam. As a child of the 80s, I can’t help be reminded of “The Bloodhound Gang.” The mystery of “Hunter Street” is leavened by cornball comedy. I think if you just read the script it wouldn’t really seem all to well written, but the kids in the cast of this show just ooze charm and are eminently lovable. Plus every episode ends on a massive cliffhanger so you just have to keep watching. We’re going to have to track down season one now that we’ve finished this binge.
I find it curious that although everyone involved in creating this show is from the Netherlands and the show is clearly set in Amsterdam, they went to a lot of effort to make the show for “export.” The characters all speak English even when it would make sense for them to speak Dutch, the kids wear bike helmets, the police read a Miranda warning, and a thermostat shows the temperature in Fahrenheit.
“Hunter Street” is good family television. Check it out.
