Eva Heijnen

Based on Ibsen, Simon Stone wrote and directed a grand family saga about the troublesome but inevitable coexistence of different generations under one roof. Maarten Heijmans received the Arlecchino (best male performance in a supporting role) for his portrayal of Sebastiaan.

If you pursued populism, cancel culture and hatred on social media to their extremes, perhaps you would get a weekly, crowd-pulling reality show in which viewers can vote for which compa­triot must be executed — liter­ally. This brazen thriller follows Salman Seegers, who starts working for the Sterf­show (Death Show) as a pathol­o­gist. It comes easy to him, until a candi­date ends up on top of the Death List who is very dear to him.

This series takes place at a cutting-edge city hospital. The first season follows Ella, a skilled obstetrician who leads a team of fellow medical professionals. Together, they must perform under immense pressure. The healthcare providers and their patients represent all walks of life and amidst their many triumphs and struggles, laughter and tears occur in equal measure. The thin line between one's personal life and one's professional life becomes increasingly blurred when working such long hours, making conflict unavoidable. But in the end, there is one thing that unites everyone on this parallel hospital-universe: the universal human experience of new life, fragile yet filled with hope and potential.
