Hugo (Creator/BarryAtsma) is a middle-aged widower, single father of two daughters, and has a top career at the Dutch tax institution (equivalent to the IRS) as a high-functioning government official. This completely straight-laced man inadvertedly crosses paths with top-criminal Marius after the latter is released from prison and both men cross paths because their elementary school-aged daughters are best friends, plus that Hugo is platonic best friends with Marius' wife Kitty (who lied all 8 years her husband was in prison, telling everybody that he was "working abroad").
Hugo initially wants nothing to do with Marius, but their lives get intertwined after Hugo saves Marius from getting shot to death by other criminals who feel he owns them money. While Hugo is spending the first season (unsuccesfully) to avoid getting his live involved with Marius, Marius has problems of his own: now that he's released after 8 years in prison, he turns out to have severe debts of a million Euros to several other criminals, who now go after him. Plus, he has a parole officer who watches his every step, a daughter of 8 years old who's never known him but whom he's now trying to form a bond with, and his in-laws hate him.

In the second season, Hugo and Marius are (again) trying to avoid becoming suspects of a murder, while Kitty starts her own restaurant--but is soon foreclosed--and Hugo's teenage daughter Laura gets involved with a much older man who turns out to be bad business.
A third and last season was released in 2019, in which Hugo now has been fired from the IRS and gotten his reputation ruined by Marius' involvement; the men have had a falling-out with each other and are both trying to rebuild their lives.

Klem (litt.: "Stuck" in Dutch) is a Dutch crime/drama television series that started in 2017, and as of beginning 2019 has had 2 seasons with a 3rd season greenlit to be released in late 2019. It is about the unlikely friendship that develops between two very different men, and their families.
Hugo is a middle-aged widower, single father of two daughters, and has a top career at the Dutch tax institution (equivalent to the IRS) as a high-functioning government official. This completely straight-laced man inadvertedly crosses paths with top-criminal Marius after the latter is released from prison and both men cross paths because their elementary school-aged daughters are best friends, plus that Hugo is platonic best friends with Marius' wife Kitty (who lied all 8 years her husband was in prison, telling everybody that he was "working abroad").
Hugo initially wants nothing to do with Marius, but their lives get intertwined after Hugo saves Marius from getting shot to death by other criminals who feel he owns them money. While Hugo is spending the first season (unsuccesfully) to avoid getting his live involved with Marius, Marius has problems of his own: now that he's released after 8 years in prison, he turns out to have severe debts of a million Euros to several other criminals, who now go after him. Plus, he has a parole officer who watches his every step, a daughter of 8 years old who's never known him but whom he's now trying to form a bond with, and his in-laws hate him.

* AgeGapRomance:
** Hugo, in his mid-forties, has a relationship with 25-year old Hannah in the first season, to the dismay of his 16-year old daughter Laura who keeps reminding him his girlfriend is just 9 years older than his daughter.
** In Season 2, then 17-year old Laura gets into a relationship with a 34-year old man--twice her age, and as her father keeps telling her, way too old for her.
* ArtisticLicense: Every phone shown is an Android phone, but the ringtones they make are Apple ringtones.
* ComingAndGoing: The sex scenes between Hugo and his girlfriend Hannah, respectively Marius and his wife Kitty, are intershot with the last moments of [[spoiler:George van Galen's]] life, and the latter is [[spoiler:shot to death]] at the moment the former sex scenes come to their conclusion.
* DisappearedDad: First played straight then subverted for Chrissie.

* MissingMom: Hugo's wife died 3 years prior to the series' start, which means his two daughters haven't had a mum for some time at the time the series starts.
* ReverseWhoDunit: Season 1 ends with [[spoiler:Hugo and Marius killing Wally]]. So the viewer knows how [[spoiler:Wally]] died. The authorities, in-universe, however, do not, and most of Season 2 is spent on the police (and the other criminals) questioning "what happened to Wally?", with even one episode of Season 2 titled "Where is Wally?".

This completely straight-laced man inadvertedly crosses paths with top-criminal Marius after the latter is released from prison and both men cross paths because their elementary school-aged daughters are best friends, plus that Hugo is platonic best friends with Marius' wife Kitty (who lied all 8 years her husband was in prison, telling everybody that he was "working abroad").
Hugo initially wants nothing to do with Marius, but their lives get intertwined after Hugo saves Marius from getting shot to death by other criminals who feel he owns them money. While Hugo is spending the first season (unsuccesfully) to avoid getting his live involved with Marius, Marius has problems of his own: now that he's released after 8 years in prison, he turns out to have severe debts of a million Euros to several other criminals, who now go after him. Plus, he has a parole officer who watches his every step, a daughter of 8 years old who's never known him but whom he's now trying to form a bond with, and his in-laws hate him.
!! This series provides examples of:
* AgeGapRomance:
** Hugo, in his mid-forties, has a relationship with 25-year old Hannah in the first season, to the dismay of his 16-year old daughter Laura who keeps reminding him his girlfriend is just 9 years older than his daughter.
** In Season 2, then 17-year old Laura gets into a relationship with a 34-year old man--twice her age, and as her father keeps telling her, way too old for her.
* ArtisticLicense: Every phone shown is an Android phone, but the ringtones they make are Apple ringtones.
* ComingAndGoing: The sex scenes between Hugo and his girlfriend Hannah, respectively Marius and his wife Kitty, are intershot with the last moments of [[spoiler:George van Galen's]] life, and the latter is [[spoiler:shot to death]] at the moment the former sex scenes come to their conclusion.
* DisappearedDad: First played straight then subverted for Chrissie. She hasn't had a father in her life for the first 8 years of her life, with her mom telling her that's because her dad can't see them because he's "working abroad"; but as of the start of the series, her father gets released from prison after 8 years, her parents tell her the truth about this, and she starts to form a bond with her father.
* MissingMom: Hugo's wife died 3 years prior to the series' start, which means his two daughters haven't had a mum for some time at the time the series starts.
* ReverseWhoDunit: Season 1 ends with [[spoiler:Hugo and Marius killing Wally]]. So the viewer knows how [[spoiler:Wally]] died. The authorities, in-universe, however, do not, and most of Season 2 is spent on the police (and the other criminals) questioning "what happened to Wally?", with even one episode of Season 2 titled "Where is Wally?".
* ShowerOfLove: A sex scene in the shower is shown between Marius and Kitty after the former has just been released from prison and can be with his wife for the first time in 8 years.
* TimeSkip:
** Season 2 doesn't immediately follow Season 1, but instead explicitly states an entire year has passed between the two seasons.
** The first scene of Season 1 shows the funeral of Hugo's wife, with then a title card following saying "Three years later..."
* TropaholicsAnonymous: In Season 2, Marius joins a group of lay men to help him deal with his anger issues.
