We see a lot of the drama from the jury&#8217;s point of view, and how the case affects their lives, which is what makes it interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, in Belgian criminal courts, while they do have a jury, they also have a set of 3 judges that question the defendant, and the defendant&#8217;s lawyer can&#8217;t object. The defendant has to answer all questions, including ones that are very personal or irrelevant. They don&#8217;t admonish the jury from listening to the news about the case, nor do they tell them to refrain from discussing the case before the deliberation. It&#8217;s very different from U.S. courts.<\/p>\n<p>Frie Palmer (Maaike Cafmeyer) is accused of murdering her baby with a shard of glass after a terribly custody and divorce case. She&#8217;s also accused of murdering her best friend in the past. One of the jurors, Delphine Spijkers (Maaike Neuville), is based on a real juror who tried to get out of a court case because of spousal abuse. The details of the case reminded her of her own life.<\/p>\n<p>Many face Dutch actors that you&#8217;ve never heard of star in this great crime series. It&#8217;s enthralling and worth sticking with.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<div class=\"title-info-metadata-wrapper\" data-uia=\"title-info-metadata-wrapper\"><span class=\"title-info-metadata-item item-year\" data-uia=\"item-year\">2019<\/span><span class=\"title-info-metadata-item item-maturity\" data-uia=\"item-maturity\"><span class=\"maturity-rating\"><span class=\"maturity-number\">TV-MA <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"title-info-metadata-item item-runtime\" data-uia=\"item-runtime\"><span class=\"duration\"><span class=\"test_dur_str\">1 Season<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div data-uia=\"title-info-metadata-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"title-info-synopsis-talent\" data-uia=\"title-info-synopsis-talent\">\n<div class=\"title-info-synopsis\" data-uia=\"title-info-synopsis\">Twelve jurors \u2014 ordinary people with struggles of their own \u2014 must decide the case of a woman accused of killing her best friend and her own daughter.<\/div>\n<div data-uia=\"title-info-synopsis\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"title-info-talent\">\n<div class=\"title-data-info-item item-starring\"><span class=\"title-data-info-item-label\">Starring:<\/span><span class=\"title-data-info-item-list\" data-uia=\"info-starring\">Maaike Neuville, Charlotte De Bruyne, Tom Vermeir<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Proofread and Edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/06\/20\/biobrenda\/\">Brenda<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/primetime\/reviews\/\">Back to the Main Reviews Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.<\/i><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5795\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twelve2.jpg\" alt=\"The Twelve on Netflix\" width=\"416\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twelve2.jpg 622w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twelve2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV Review! &#8220;The Twelve&#8221; on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7\/25\/20 This is a riveting Belgian drama about a jury that&#8217;s trying a woman accused of murdering her baby as well as an old friend.
