Captain nice episode 1 full#
Thankfully, we don’t have to suffer through the rest of this awkward date, skipping ahead to Euro Cash’s less than triumphant return to his houseboat.Īcross town, the animal party is still in full swing, but two of the guests have left to do a job. He makes the giant mistake of saying he’s a quantum physicist, and to my delight, his date is a big fan of physics and goes off on a topic Euro Cash definitely doesn’t know anything about. He definitely doesn’t want to be there, and he definitely isn’t interested in revealing anything factual about himself, which leaves me wondering why he’s leading this nice lady on. Not having fun? Euro Cash, who’s struggling through an internet date. Hopefully he’s ditched his evil ways along with the evil facial hair!įrom the opening credits that follow, I gather that he’s probably our main man Van der Valk, but sorry VDV, I already named you Euro Cash. He has just enough time to catch his breath and make a cheeky quip about the weather while we process that it’s the same actor who we all just learned to hate when he played Captain Sideburns in Beecham House. I have to assume the stunt budget for this show is negligible, but it’s enough to get us a short but sweet bike fight, quickly culminating in Euro Cash handcuffing the other dude (who I think you should know is wearing a Classic Mafia Tracksuit) to a bridge. At first it looks like they escape, but no: one of the dudes is, despite his European Johnny Cash ensemble, actually a lawman. The show opens with two dudes on bikes racing through the twisty streets of Amsterdam, pursued by some very serious police officers. And… bicycles? We’re most decidedly not in Kansas, friends. I’m here to recap the season as it happens just in case you, Dear Reader, miss an episode and haven’t yet been able to catch up on GBH Passport. If you were looking for a moody, gritty mini-series that’ll make you want to abscond to Amsterdam, Van der Valk is for you. This month, we’re incredibly excited to bring you coverage of MASTERPIECE’ s new show Van der Valk.
Every season, the Drama After Dark team gathers ‘round the (currently virtual) conference room table to watch the latest and greatest in British dramas.
