Incomprehensible choice undermines fascinating docuseries Amsterdam Narcos: this causes unintentional hilarity

After Liverpool, Dublin and Ibiza, Amsterdam gets the Narcos treatment on SkyShowtime. This new three-part docuseries focuses on our capital in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, when the rise of hashish, ecstasy, cocaine and electronic music led to a deadly cat-and-mouse game between traders and the police. Now that almost all cases have expired and the prison sentences have been served, a number of key players can brashly tell their stories in front of the camera. And that produces a fascinating picture of the times.
