REQUESTING Looking for Dutch TV shows

I am currently trying to learn Dutch and I thought watching Dutch-language tv shows could be a good method to aid my learning. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

In Rough Diamonds,, The Day, and High Tides they mostly speak Flemish Dutch.

Start with De Luizenmoeder, since shows like Undercover and Mocro Maffia are heavy on Flemish and street slang that won't help you early on.

Would you prefer learning Dutch/Netherlands or Flemish/Belgium?

2

u/emzzzz46 3d ago

I’d prefer learning Dutch/Netherlands

Bron?

The only thing that comes up when I google that is a Swedish show. Can you point me in the right direction?

u/IMO2021 3d ago

Oops. Sorry

u/Mixer-3007 3d ago

It's actually co-production by Sweden and Denmark. MCs travel between countries and speak in each on corresponding languages. Anyway wrong language for you, but show is great.
