The Sheikh

I love this show. It's weird, wacky, often fun and dark with a rising count of dead bodies, and a great satire on greed and the lure of great wealth. Supposedly inspired by true events, in The Sheikh we come across a unique con artist called Ringo (Björn Meyer), who is viewed as kind of the bumbling village idiot in his rural German town. He's married to Carla (played by Petra Schmidt-Schallerp who starred in the German cop series "The Marnow Murders"), who has a wealthy scheming father. Somehow Ringo is able to reinvent himself as a billionaire Arab sheik from Qatar and con his way through Switzerland, even into the Swiss parliament building, as the banking elite swoon around him dazzled by lure of riches. It ends on a bit of a cliff hanger, so many there is a season 2 coming?
