“Strike”

Behind every woman stands an insecure man. Or so it seems in the comedy series about the Hendrickx family, headed by ex-commissioner Marcel and businesswoman Rita. Their three daughters each lead their own lives, together with their partners. The sons-in-law and son Jeroen form the Kloefkappers and discuss their lives weekly at the bowling alley. As long as the men are together, they feel on top of the world and their self-confidence knows no bounds. Then they can handle any problem or so they think. Once left to their own devices again, however, they quickly transform back into those hesitant creatures desperately trying to keep their heads above water. Fortunately, behind each of our insecure men stands a strong woman who does know how to handle things, and her husband. It is this age-old tension between the sexes that provides the very recognizable humor in Strike.
