13 Commandments is a Dutch-language television series that presents a suspenseful tale of a self-proclaimed morality expert who challenges individuals to undertake cruel and seemingly random acts. The show premiered in Belgium in 2017 and was made available internationally in 2018 through the online streaming platform, Walter Presents.

The series begins when major events occur based on the Ten Commandments, such as a woman's adultery in a field, which is reacted to in precisely the same way the scripture dictates: both adulterer and unsuspecting spouse are stoned to death. However, these events are a practice run, as the group of criminals sets its sites on a new, unsuspecting set of victims. The killer, calling himself 'Moses', crafts the rules, abides by them, and uses them to condemn his victims grievously. However, the murders are far more than simple transgressions of one of the Commandments; there is a far greater purpose behind why Moses is committing these random killings.

What follows in the rest of the episodes leads us on a twisting and turning journey with intense, exhilarating and heart-rending moments. We see the story unfold from both sides of the law: the police investigation, headed by a rough Belgian police officer Peter Devriendt. Hesitant at first, he accepts the case and starts piecing together the evidence secretly, along with his capable and loyal team.

Devriendt is a suggestive policeman who is willing to cross boundaries to eliminate evildoers in society. Along with the discovery of the killer's narcissistic cult's various members, the police's hunt for Moses leads them to Moses's followers, who obey his commandments to the letter. Devriendt's ability to understand the killer's twisted mind and methods is the essence of this drama that offers an engaging and captivating experience.

As the story progresses, we get deeper insights into the characters' lives and emotions, which help us to relate to them and their struggles. The darker side of humanity is also explored, as we witness the growing obsession and fanaticism of the killer and his cult.

The acting performances are brilliant in this series. The lead detectives, Peter Devriendt (Jeroen Perceval) and Vicky Degraeve (Marie Vinck), give intense and authentic performances, and the supporting cast is equally impressive. The dialogue is well-crafted, and the direction masterfully handles the story's dark themes and shocking twists.

13 Commandments delivers a gripping and intense experience that keeps viewers at the edge of their seats throughout the series. The show raises questions about morality and justice, as the audience is taken on a journey to unearth the psyche of a disturbed killer and the desperate measures taken by the police to bring him down.

All in all, 13 Commandments is a must-watch series for fans of thriller dramas with perfect pacing, outstanding performances, and an intriguing storyline that will leave you breathless.

13 Commandments is a series that ran for 1 seasons (13 episodes) between December 13, 2017 and on WALTER PRESENTS
