A gripping Dutch crime series is now streaming in the UK. Called The Ring, it tells the story of a woman who finds herself in a perilous situation after she steals a ring.

This 10-episode series first aired in 2024 and features Hannah Hoekstra, known for her role in Charlie’s Angels, Minne Koole from Comeback, and Benja Bruijning of Framed.

Hey, good news for my UK friends! If you’ve been wanting to watch The Ring, you can finally stream it now on Channel 4 as part of their Walter Presents selection. I just checked it out, and it’s awesome!

What to Read Next

The story centers around Anna Hartogh, a driven lawyer, who makes a rash decision to steal a ring from her influential client, Simon. What she doesn’t realize is that a hidden camera recorded the theft, and Simon is now using the footage to blackmail her.

I’m really hooked on this story! It sounds like Anna’s in a tough spot – she’s getting increasingly suspicious of everyone around her, and it’s becoming clear her own secrets are starting to weigh her down. I’m dying to see just how far she’ll go to cover her tracks and protect herself. It’s going to be intense!

On IMDb, where it has a 7.3/10 rating from over 762 viewers, someone commented that The Ring is better than the TV series created by Harlan Coben.

This mystery series was fantastic and kept me guessing until the very end! It’s a really tense thriller, almost like a horror, and definitely not for the easily scared. I loved it so much I watched the entire series in a single day – it completely exceeded my expectations.

One viewer described it as a compelling look at how a small error can snowball into major problems, and encouraged others to watch, saying they’ll be captivated by the characters and the unpredictable plot.

One viewer called the show a captivating look at what motivates people. While acknowledging some inaccuracies in its portrayal of the legal system – as they are a lawyer themselves – they still found the series highly enjoyable.

You can find many foreign-language dramas on Walter Presents, and they’ve recently added a compelling Italian crime show called The Teresa Battaglia Cases. It’s about a tough detective who investigates violent crimes while secretly battling the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

The Ring is streaming now on Channel 4.

The latest issue of Living Legends magazine is now available, and it’s a special tribute to Dolly Parton! You can find ‘Dolly at 80’ in shops or order it online for only £8.99.
