Almost Fly

I love this show!!!!!! The tall German woman that had the kid impregnate her... lord, she was beautiful! The entire cast was amazing as well as the throw bag era of clothes and slang!!!!! I truly hope I get to see a season 2 and many more .... Again, absolutely great job of tackling growing up in the 90's.

Very nice and authentic period drama focusing on living and growing up in Germany during the ninenties. Young people from different backgrounds are discovering themselves through hip-hop, while battling with common teenage problems: educational success, self identification, relationships with the parents. Good acting and convincing visuals are bringing very warm 'feel good' vibe, although drama is present and palpable. It's remarkable that almost all of the characters are equally present in terms of picture time. Highly recommend it if you want to experience the vibe or interested in how hip-hop influenced youth during that period in Germany.

I tend to cringe with German shows. But this one hits all marks. No unnecessary exposition. No loose ends. No fillers. A well balanced story that is acted by very charismatic actors set well in the 90s. Love the heart of this show. And the story it's told with all the side plots and how every character is growing.

Nik is low key the hidden champ. And Bens and W's story has character and grit. So true and relatable the struggles they're dealing with and to see them grow and manage it all so well. I find it depicted the German culture of yesterday perfectly and it was nice to see that obvious on the nose acting wasn't a thing.

One thing that bothered me. I don't think Germans were that proficient in the English as depicted here. But I could be mistaken.

It was around 1990 when I joined my first hiphop group and started rapping after falling in love with it in the years previous to that! I'm also from a small town and around the age those guys are playing. Love the atmosphere, the acting and the storyline. It reallly brought me back to those days! If you love hiphop and the 90s.... I will definitely recommend to watch this hidden gem on HBO Max! I'm from the Netherlands by the way.

One of the best tv series this year that I found. Nice story, cool and funny characters, some decent acting. Beautiful language :) to sing or rap.

Good job! Congrats!!
