Life's a Glitch with Julien Bam

A series as long as a movie. Not very exciting and the humor doesn't work at all in the first episode. It got better towards the end, but still a very boring series. I don't know if a second season is planned, if so, I'm not looking forward to it. And the end: I don't know if it should be an open ending, either way it doesn't work.

To be honest: I just get it to the end of the first episode. The filming is well done but there is a lack of authenticity, the dialogs are not very interesting and the characters are a little bit too exaggerated. The storyline is although not really interesting.

Propably a must see for fans, but right now not for a guy who didn't know Julian.

But it's just a beginning. There is much space for becoming better and I think there is potential. Julian seems to be a german influencer with a lot of followers in real life. And in germany there is are no big high quality film industrie where you can profit from. I believe he and his team will become better, because they know the path with all the struggles. Projects like this are perfect to become better and better.

I have watched weeks worth of short movies and I have never been less entertained in my life. This production truly had nothing good about it. The acting, cast, script, plot and music was horrible and unbecoming. I actually root for every German streamer production, but Life's A Glitch with Julien Bam actually threw us back. Please Netflix Germany, start making better decisions.

I'm not a millennial. So I didn't know who youtuber Julien Bam was when I started watching "Life's A Glitch". But if anything features parallel universes, count me in.

I was really surprised how funny this was. The level of detail and the sheer number of funny conversations and jokes is pretty amazing. It also has some good messages.

Since Julien Bam is basically his real internet persona, acting is not important, though he and his youtube friend Joon Kim deliver some really enjoyable performances. Madieu Ulbrich stands out as "Diego". He is just hilarious, though his German gangsta slang may get lost in translation when you're not a native speaker.

The series has massive "Back to the Future" vibes, but with parallel universes, and Doc Brown is a woman.

However, it's extremely creative on its own terms, very quirky, and it doesn't take itself too seriously.

It seems Netflix Germany has a much better hand when it comes to choosing projects.

If you're American, you may like it too, or even more than Germans.

Watch this if you love "Back to Future", "Role Models", and any nerdy SciFi stuff, and if you want to make sure Netflix produces good German stuff in the future.

The series is kind of concluded, but there is much room for a funny outcome if there is a second season.

EDIT: Because I was the first to review this, and now see how much hate this gets, I can tell everyone: 1 star reviews are bogus and written by jealous narcissists, especially if their review history is basically non existent. If you don't like the humor, it does not mean something deserves only 1 star.

To the guy who wrote the 1 star review: The series is not xenophobic. That is ridiculous because the makers have a migration background.

If anything, it's making fun of certain types of German people.

Horrible writing and even worse acting. The characters are all very linear and there is no real character development until the very end, where you get the obvious twist you get in every outer body experience movie. The jokes are very on the nose. The trailer seemed interesting. The story is pretty much based on the music video Freaky Friday with Chris Brown and Lil Dicky. The famous guy wakes up in the mit so famous guys body. It's sad that the 3 minutes music video told more and was more entertaining than a 4 episodes series.
