1. Love in AmsterdamTwo seemingly unrelated men are found murdered in different parts of Amsterdam on the same day. Are the deaths connected and could there be a link to the disappearance of a student activist? Commissaris Van Der Valk must uncover the truth whilst also dealing with overly keen rookie cop Job Cloovers (Elliot Barnes-Worrell) joining his tight knit team.
2. Only in Amsterdam
The murder of a young woman leads Van Der Valk and his team into a world of mysticism, drug addiction and tempestuous family dynamics. Van Der Valk attempts to unravel the tangled threads of the murder whilst fending off office gossip about him and a newly single Lucienne (Maimie McCoy).

The brutal murder of a fashion vlogger is live streamed on his own feed, drawing Van Der Valk and the team into the glamourous world of high fashion.

Quirky - Van Der Valk: Series 1 review by GS
We immensely enjoyed viewing Van der Valk and particularly enjoyed the new characterisations. Marc Warren is totally believable as an up to date Van der Valk and all the cast are excellent. The scripting and photography are also worthy of mention; some great lines drily delivered with perfect timing. The one caveat? The music! A pointless tribute to the original "Eye Level" score which included barely recognisable hints at the old theme tune. It would have been better left out because the composer is clearly talented and should have been left alone to create a totally new theme; just my opinion.
