Episode one, directed by Michiel van Jaarsveld, is set in the world of freerunning.
It sort of opens with a story about a freerunner who gets shot and the story really explores whether this world of competitive, very physical outdoors, quite a youth-skewed world, is the reason for his murder or whether he's been involved in something slightly more seditious or not, as the case may be.
- What's the link to Casper Yuliani?
- Casper used to run with this lot.
Main guy's, Lenny Holst, the godfather of freerunning, he took Casper under his wing, mentored him in the early days, used to go out with Marian Segers.
- [Piet] Did he?
- I know absolutely nothing about freerunning.
It looks incredible.
It looks terrifying, don't know how they do it.
(intense music) (feet thudding) - I really enjoyed the physical scenes because for me, I have a background in martial arts.
I have a background in freerunning, so that feels like home.
- It takes us into a slightly criminal world of drug dealing but ultimately, the story turns out to be a much more personal tale of envy and family strife.
