ÜberWeihnachten

It is pretty refreshing to see something different on netflix themed during the christmas time. It is enjoyble to watch without too much eyes rolling for some scenes being too cliche. Good sarcasms throughout the series, but still ends in a positive, cheesey note which it is still christmas themes series/show afterall.

Actually right now, I think the only thing I want has nothing to do with Christmas and I bet almost every person on this planet wants: the end of the pandemic and the restrictions. But let's not get political or into details, because if you don't like my review I hope it is because you don't like the review and not what my thoughts are on the pandemic.

That being said, it seems that doing tv shows/series is the thing to do right now. This could easily have been a movie and a bit shorter instead of a 3 part series. But what do I know right? Anyway well acted and quite the heroes journey (if you are lost, I just mean the main character and his discovery tour through the movie). Well acted and edited, this works quite nicely.

I'm not a real fan of Luke and got talked into watching this show by my wife. But boy was I happy about it. It's a light enjoyable tv show. It never gets to cheese. The family life is shown in a quite realistic way but what I find even more important is the way that our jelousy works is shown pretty good and how we can get lost in unimportant stuff without noticing that we are the ones limiting ourselfs and not the others.

I was pleasantly surprised. Funny, Christmassy and cheesy, but not saccharine to the point of feeling like you are on the verge of a diabetic coma. Captures family life over the holidays so well, definitely worth a watch.

It's really good but worth noting it's dubbed English, I didn't realise this at first and thought it was out of sync...it's really good! Give it a go if you like sarcasm and Christmas.
