I thought all three seasons of this Belgian/Dutch series were quite good, even though the undercover agent (Bob, played by Tom Waes) is a deeply flawed officer who is a little hard to root for. But despite recurring frustrations, you do end up rooting for him and the storylines of each season are well constructed and feature plenty of action. The third season took a few episodes to really get rolling, but when it did the series may have hit its peak. And we see Frank Lammers (as Ferry) really show the full depth of his acting talent.
My favorite sidekick for Bob was definitely Kim (played by the captivating Anna Drijver), a major character in the first season and shown in guest appearances in the second season. Overall, I think the first season was the strongest, but all three are very watchable. There were a fair amount of TV tropes in the show, but also some nice twists and unexpected developments that kept the series interesting.
Bob is the main star of the show, but Ferry was the breakout character and Elise Schaap (as his wife Danielle) was also terrific. No surprise that these two went on to star in a prequel movie ("Ferry") and a prequel TV series ("Ferry the Series"), which were even better than "Undercover." I look forward to seeing more of them in future episodes of their new series, but would really like to see them in another new series that's based on what happens to their characters AFTER "Undercover" instead of before.
