Ferry: The Series
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
Based on a true story, FERRY: THE SERIES follows Ferry, a Dutch ecstasy dealer, as he ascends from a middle man with money problems to the leader of his own drug empire. The narrative explores his personal and professional life, which is filled with complex relationships and criminal escapades.
Is It Any Good?
This Dutch show follows familiar crime dramas themes but stands out with its injections of humor, slick production, and engaging performances. Ferry: The Series offers a mix of tension and unexpected levity, making it a captivating watch for fans of the genre. Ferry is a Tony Soprano-type character and the show deals with the ins and outs of his life, his crew, and his family. The combination makes for interesting story-telling with drama that's lightened by fast-paced scenes that feel like they're straight from a heist movie.
