Flikken was a popular Flemish-Belgian TV series about a police-department located in Ghent. The show started in 1999 and ended recently on 19 April 2009. In the series, a team of six police officers solved various crimes, petty crimes as well as organised crime. The series always aimed at showing the policework in a realistic way - though a little personal drama was never far off. Of all the actors that came along during the ten seasons, only Mark Tijsmans and Ludo Hellinx appeared throughout the entire series.

Flikken was produced by the VRT and broadcast on Belgian public channel Eén and TROS in the Netherlands. Flikken is very popular in Belgium and the Netherlands. The show has had very high ratings of up to 1.8 million viewers during the last season.

Every year the VRT organises the Flikkendag, a family day where the public can meet the actors of the show. There are many games, demonstrations of the real police and other safety organisations and performances of singers. On 18 April 2009, a special farewell party was organised in Ghent, in which the actors and crew said goodbye to their fans - thousands had assembled to watch the show on stage.

Nella serie, una squadra di sei agenti di polizia ha risolto vari crimini, piccoli crimini e criminalità organizzata. L'obiettivo della serie è sempre stato quello di mostrare il lavoro della polizia in modo realistico, anche se un po' di dramma personale non era mai lontano. Di tutti gli attori apparsi durante le dieci stagioni, solo Mark Tijsmans e Ludo Hellinx sono apparsi nell'intera serie.

We maken kennis met het politieteam van commissaris Deprez uit de Vlaamse stad Gent. De jonge inspecteur Tony Dierickx is een harde tante, ligt constant dwars en lapt soms de regels aan haar laars. De koelbloedige inspecteur Britt Michiels wordt de nieuwe partner van Tony en geleidelijk aan leren ze elkaar beter te respecteren. Brigadier Ben Vanneste vormt een duo met brigadier Selattin Ates. De twee zijn tegengestelden wat karakter betreft maar voelen elkaar in de job perfect aan. Hoofd-brigadier Raymond Jacobs is de oudste van het team. Zijn jarenlange ervaring deelt hij met enige tegenzin met zijn ambitieuze jongere en onervaren partner Wilfried Pasmans.
