‘Is crypto the new gold?’

You would think that all platforms have learned their lesson after the scandalsurrounding the misleading ‘FIRE’, the VRT Max documentary that let cheatersspeak without hesitation and was therefore taken offline, but no, Streamz justgoes with the same production company – Het Rabbit – in the sea.

‘The Investigation’

An early Christmas present: Canvas once again broadcasts ‘The Investigation’,according to Onze Man ‘perhaps the best Scandinavian crime series ever’. Thetrue story of “the submarine murder” (an eccentric inventor lures a beautifulyoung journalist to his submarine, kills her, then cuts up her body and dumpsit into the sea) could easily have turned into a series of horror and horror.can lead, but the brilliant ‘The Investigation’ avoids any sensation.
