I was really looking forward to this show and picked a nice moment to binge watch it all in one go. I kind of regret it now, because it's like devouring a magnificent birthday cake all at once. So there are no leftovers. I can only hope NPO will go for a second season. But because the show is nicely wrapped up in the end it could very well be a one season show.
So what was it that deserved the ten stars I gave? First of all, NPO shows made in Holland, usually are qualitatively extremely good. I had high hopes. And the show delivered... pun intended ;) Acting, production, score, writing, location, lighting... everything was perfect. I delivered 5 babies myself, two at home, three in hospital and the last one didn't make it. So you can say that I've been through it all as a mom. And really... I never saw such real births and birthing processes on television. I think everyone, both delivering mothers and hospital staff, were extensively coached for the acting to be as it is in real life. Everybody involved with thos show: chapeau! Or as we say in The Netherlands: Petje af!
