Episode one saw the cynical detective investigate the gruesome murder of solicitor Susie De Windt and while many viewers were gripped by the compelling plot, others complained about the actors' accents.
Taking to Twitter, some viewers questioned why the characters spoke with an English accent despite the show being set in Amsterdam.
One person wrote: "Bit confused. Watching #VanDerValk which is set in Amsterdam where everyone speaks perfect English... Why do people in Amsterdam not speak with a Dutch accent?" while another added: "Honestly just can't wrap my head around why this is in Amsterdam but everyone alerts to be English. Like I just don't get it."

A third viewer commented: "We find ourselves watching #VanDerValk on the hotel TV. Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I can't take this programme seriously as everyone seems to have a thick London accent despite allegedly being Dutch."
