* FlyoverCountry: Many non-Dutch people (and even many Dutch people living in the West of the Netherlands) don't seem to be aware that there's a big part of the country outside of the conglomeration in the west between Amsterdam and Rotterdam (known as the "Randstad"); virtually all media taking place in the Netherlands is situated in Amsterdam or at least somewhere in the ''Randstad''--but this series makes a big exception by taking place in a city in the deep south of the Netherlands, and Maastricht is actually a big city, but it isn't often portrayed in fiction.
