German Genius

Reading the bad comments, I can't agree more that any translated version of this series can't really work. I couldn't find any international dub online, so I guess it flopped - understandibly: You need to have heaps of German cultural background knowledge, as just know and recognise a lot (!) of meta humour, that'd easily escape an international audience. It's a very very German series - filled with particularily German cultural innuendo. I'd go so far to say as if you haven't seen the last 10 to 15 years of German television, you'll understand less than half of the jokes. There are a lot of rather famous German celebrities working and acting in this series, and they're doing a fine job actually. Most of the characters act naturally, some ,on purpose, exaggerate immensly in order to parody either themselves or certain tropes. Overall, it's not perfect, but it's good.
