GOATED

Best show in Belgian tv history

Binging it right now

I hate it – the fact that it’s been so popular is a testament to stupidity, nothing to be proud of.

Good up untill DDT left. Shite after that.

Should be included in integration course, every episode

you should definitely watch the episode with the misunderstanding

nice if you want to turn you brain off for 15 minutes. But there is a lot of better stuff to watch.

Perfect to watch during lunchbreak at work. No more no less.

With every rerun, I think “surely this has to be the last time they put this shit on the tele?” But every year, like clockwork, it rises from the archives of the vrt.

I can only hope that by the time my children are old enough to watch it, it has finally died down. I do not want to sit through an episode of this stupidity.
They dragged it out way too long.

(And I don’t understand why these actors are not ashamed to be part of this thing. They probably couldn’t get any other gigs with their poor acting, but still I do not get it)

Tijd voor een herhalingske

Looks interesting. But I would make a few changes to make it appeal to a wider audience. Add some typical Flemish smalltown cliché characters, like the well meaning, progressive but slightly pedantic school teacher to serve as an antagonist for the sausage factory owner. This should be a typical starry eyed golden boy but maybe give him a dark side like an alcohol addiction, a side hustle selling drugs to minors or schizophrenia. Also it would be great to make his “official” side hustle something like being the village handyman, but in reality him being too clumsy to even keep a toilet in his rental appartment in one piece.

Then, as the series main antagonist, you’d need a real handyman, someone like a mechanic or so, who is the opposite of the school teacher: a grouch and misanthropist on the outside but a softie with a heart of gold underneath, with a love for money as his only real weakness and an overbearing mother as his crutch. Give him a few catchphrases to make him more likeable.

Then, to propagate the family dynamics of the core family (the bartender, her daughter and her husband) I would change the husband’s character into an actual father figure for the daughter. I would also give him a position of (formal at least) authority in the soccer team, like captain or trainer or something. This way the family dynamic can echo in the team, where in both circles the guy serves as a long suffering father figure whose little authority and respect are constantly undermined by the antics of his family/team (see Bob’s Burgers).

Also make him not as much an antihero but more of an everyman who has to take a lot of shit from all sides all the time, but has an honest core and when it really matters, with a little nudge from his family (like a knowitall daughter who can be the cast’s moral compass), always finds the courage to do the right thing and stand up for what he believes is right and just.

Oh and just for laughs I’d throw in a ginger shorty and make it a really annoying guy who is as unrelatable as he is insufferable. The audience will eat that right up. Am I right or am I right?
