'Familie' is the longest running Belgian soap opera. The Van den Bossches originally had an electronics company, later a holding company that included a clothing chain and a sandwich shop. In the meantime, we closely follow the personal lives of the Van den Bossches and their entourage. Grandma Anna and all her children and grandchildren have been through a lot over time and it doesn't look like their lives will become calmer any time soon.

> Belgian soap opera, which bravely resisted all calls to diversity! It's worse (or, bétter, depending) than "Friends", in this regard. Let's not mistake the occasional person of colour, which pops up now and again, for diversity. When asked, the show runner has been rumoured to have responded: _"Well, we had a Francophone industrialist in season 2, 28 years ago, and we felt that was enough"_ < /sarc>.
