wtFOCK

In Antwerp, a tight-knit group of Dutch-speaking high school students deal with the awkward, messy reality of growing up, and the show follows their private and public lives with close focus. Each season shifts the point of view to a different character, so viewers get an intimate portrait of that person’s friendships, romances, family tensions, and the gossip that follows them through school corridors and social feeds. The cast includes Laura Bekaert as Anaïs Davis, Nell Cattrysse as Bobbie De Bruyn, Nona ’t Jolle as Hanne Dewit, Mathis Mavuela as Otis Rojas, and Ella Van Remortel as Ada Konings, and episodes move at a pace that feels true to teen conversations and crises without revealing major plot twists here.

Created by Julie Andem and Bram Renders, wtFOCK premiered in 2018 as a Flemish-language series aimed at a young audience. The show was produced for regional broadcasters and streaming platforms, with a format that keeps scenes tight and character-focused.

While wtFOCK did not pick up international awards, it got attention in Belgian media and among youth-oriented outlets for its frank storytelling. Critics and local commentators often noted the cast’s chemistry and the way the series tackled timely issues, even if it didn’t sweep major prize lists beyond regional recognition.

The series sparked active online discussion among teens in Flanders and helped shape conversations about school life and social media behavior. Fans shared clips and reaction posts, and characters and moments quickly became reference points in youth forums and Belgian pop culture chatter.

Critics generally rated wtFOCK positively, reflected in an average user score of 8.2/10 from viewers. Reviewers praised its realistic dialogue, willingness to show awkward moments, and focus on topics like identity, peer pressure, sexuality, and family conflict. Tone shifts from comic to serious, and the rotating perspective structure keeps the storytelling fresh across seasons, so the show stays intimate while covering a wide range of adolescent experiences.
