The Swell
In this gripping Dutch miniseries, a cross-section of individuals from very different backgrounds struggle to stay alive after a catastrophic superstorm puts half of Holland under water. After the storm passes, those who survived must confront the fact that nothing in their lives will ever be the same again. As their journeys unfold over six superb episodes, we glimpse moments of joy, sorrow, rage, kindness, and most importantly, resilience.

well done series
just didn't like the characters or story.
extraordinarily well done!
That was very good. Even with subtitles, like the rest have said, it was easy to follow along. It had me hooked in from the very beginning and even though it went back and forth through the different families, it was easy to keep up with what was happening. Although there is a lot of heart break in this, it caused a lot of strength to grow from it.
This movie kept me glued to the screen, in a foreign language with subtitles. I was completely absorbed through to the end. A must see considering global warming and rising sea levels. We should make it mandatory for our politicians watch and start a conversation, work on plans for our country. Yes, as one reviewer stated about Katrina...the smell, bodies & creatures in the water. Some things don’t need to be shown or mentioned, it is assumed considering the devastation.
