Series Brief

What was supposed to be a relaxing vacation changes rapidly into a nightmare, when some of the friends are blackmailed with footage from that terrible week three decades ago.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 70 /100

Two Summers received moderately positive reviews, with critics appreciating its tense, character-driven mystery and timely thematic ambitions. Reviewers highlighted the Flemish drama's uncompromising exploration of toxic masculinity, friendship dynamics, and the reckoning that occurs when historical, pre-"Me Too" crimes are confronted in adulthood. The acting across the ensemble cast and the dark, claustrophobic atmosphere were frequently singled out as effective elements that keep viewers hooked.

However, the show faced criticism regarding its narrative momentum and emotional nuance. Some reviewers observed that the series is a decidedly slow burn that takes too long to reach the core of its conflict, occasionally settling for a shallow exploration of trauma rather than digging deeply into character psychology. Despite these pacing flaws, most critics considered it a solid, twisty thriller that manages to be both entertaining and disquieting.

“At the heart of the story is sexual assault and gender, with the warped dynamics of a seemingly close set of young kids coming to a head in advanced adulthood.”

“If you like a cerebral, twisty crime story that depicts what happens when pre-“Me Too” behavior is finally seen for what it is, then Two Summers is for you.”

“Two Summers is an interesting and well-acted Flemish series but boy does this show take its sweet time getting to the crux of the issue.”
