TV review ‘The Voice’ take the size, but Glennis Grace Rehabilitate

Most remarkable about the season opening of Just until here Saturday was the comeback of Glennis Grace. The singer fell in disgrace after being convicted in 2022 for violence in a supermarket. She led a revenge action against a Jumbo in the Jordaan in Amsterdam with a gang of seven men who chased employees and beat each other. Now she recovered Just until here Singing a song about the fireworks ban.

Especially painful was that presenters Jeroen Woe and Niels van der Laan expanded just before her turnout The Voice De Maat Namen – the talent show that disappeared from TV in 2022 due to sexual cross -border behavior of the employees. The comedians thought it could not be that the program will return next year. Apparently other standards apply to Grace. Taking everything and everyone the size works best if your own moral compass is in order. The rehabilitation of a violent artist is swearing.

The satirical Saturday evening show remains a pleasant program to complete a news week and blow off steam. Although the items felt a bit mature this time: Faber and the ribbons, spring jitters, The Voice. Perhaps it is because Arjan Lubach is back on TV – he has also treated all those items, usually more inventive, sharper and witty. Perhaps it is because many news items nowadays already contain built -in satire. You can let the House of Representatives, with the help of video editing, « ha ha, that Faber, that Faber that is crazy », but Minister Faber is already such a insane type that it is difficult for you as a satirist to get over it.

Not only Glennis Grace but also Gerri Eickhof made his comeback. The reporter in Ruste who recently stopped at the NOS Journaal, was in Just until here To build a tower of coffee pads. He did that with so much comical talent that I like to see him return as a regular section. Eickhof said he never came out again: « I live in the Jordaan, so shopping here is far too dangerous, » he joked, referring to Grace’s action: « I went to the Jumbo just a little quickly, because I saw that she was performing with you. »

All world problems

‘More grip on the world; Sophie, good luck with it!  » This is how the voice-over open Bureau Abroadafter a quick list of all the world problems that are currently playing. The new foreign section of the VPRO – transplanted from the radio – had a strikingly light tone. Presenter Sophie Derkzen had definitely planned: whatever happens, always laughing.

While the subjects do not give you directly. Ghassan Dahhan, chef news from Fidelitydiscussed the tensions between the US and Iran. US President Trump threatens to bomb the country if it does not agree with a new agreement on the nuclear program. Physicist and former minister Robbert Dijkgraaf told about a different attack by Trump: on science.

The most important gimmick is the table with the world map. The guests can draw on it with a felt -tip pen to illustrate their argument. Dahhan signed the army bases that the US built around Iran. Dijkgraaf needed the entire table to sketch how the scientific center has moved around the world since the Middle Ages: from the Middle East via Europe and the US to China.
