About halfway through the first episode, I was so overcome with how corny this show is that I checked IMDB to see if it gets any better. Sure enough, first review I see says to stick with it to the end, it gets better and is worth it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Even if you like the politics of this show, it is so corny and on the nose it is unbearable. There is no subtly, no nuance, just absolutely cheesy politics throughout. I thought at one point they may introduce some nuance (hey these are real people and businesses we're hurting), but no, they run right back to the cornball politics.
I hope that it is better if you are a native German speaker, but i really regret wasting my time on this. I've enjoyed other German series in the past so I don't think that is it.
