synopsis

Cops portrays Britt and Tony, two young policewomen, and the men on their team in their professional and private lives. How the challenge of their calling, that of fighting crime and their work itself, affects their personal lives and relationships. How their devotion to the pursuit of perpetrators is matched only by their heartfelt compassion for the victims. How even the seasoned cops equally often battle with despair or are forced to admit their powerlessness. But any cop in the world will tell you that for every hazardous or heartbreaking story, there is a hilarious one waiting around the corner. In this respect too, Flikken remains a realistic, and therefore often hilarious portrayal of a cop's life.Powerfully filmed, this realistic ensemble series depicts gripping stories of crime in a modern city : stalking and racist crime, homicide, rape, squatters and pickpockets, school violence or hit and run accidents.
