Fun. Smart. Self satirizing narrative appealed to me a lot similar to Kenya Barris' #blackAF. Image quality & chiaroscuro is appreciably higher than that.
Am wondering how much referential humor I'm missing with casting. Wiki bio for actor playing Marius intimates a little of what backstory I have no idea about.
Far & away the most aggravating element was elimination of German audio & all subtitles in 2nd episode. The nuances in delivery with original language are much more interesting and the pace of modern TV / cinema productions has become far too rapid not to use subtitles for full appreciation of script & dialogue.
Low key German audio was convincing in its delivery. Strident tone of English audio was jarring, punching the plot's conflicts harder which made acceptance of silly or subtle premises presented more difficult.
