by

The gripping, top-notch dystopian drama known as Arcadia has secured its latest streaming platform residence in the United Kingdom.

The television show, titled “Belgian-Dutch,” takes place within a closely monitored country that exists in a bleak, post-apocalyptic environment. Although it appears tranquil on the surface, this nation harbors deep-seated corruption among its ruling class. As a result of financial fraud being uncovered, a family becomes embroiled in a scandal.

In the United Kingdom, the debut season of the series featuring Gene Bervoets and Monic Hendrickx has been released, adding all eight episodes on Channel 4. The following season aired in Belgium earlier this year, but it has yet to be made accessible in the UK.
