## Synopsis

Hidden Assets (2021-present) is an Irish national-television crime drama series created by Thaddeus O'Sullivan and Kadir Bolki for RTÉ One. Detective Emer Berry (Angeline Ball) of the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau begins with a routine raid on a small-time drug dealer, only to discover his funding arrives not as cash but as rough diamonds from a source that seems impossible to trace. When those stones link to a run of bombings in Belgium, she is forced into an uneasy partnership with Police Commissioner Christian De Jong (Wouter Hendrickx), a man she cannot fully trust. The engine of the show is the patient work of following money, property, and paper trails across borders, with each season building its own case around hidden wealth and the officials who protect it. Cathy Belton, Aaron Monaghan, and Peter Coonan round out a principal cast of investigators and suspects. Across three seasons and eighteen episodes of roughly forty-five minutes, the tone stays tense, grounded, and morally murky, with a restrained visual register and a steady undercurrent of unease. Fans of Ozark, The Bridge, and Bosch will find resonance in its blend of financial intrigue, cross-border policing, and procedural patience.
