I love coming of age stories if they are good and this one is definately one of the great ones out there. Six episodes were too few, I would have loved to follow the characters for much longer, so we are going for a second season. Its a heartwarming and funny story about young people in the years after the Berlin Wall came down, their family backgrounds and struggles, first love and frustration, played by talented young actors. We laughed out loud at times and enjoyed the setting in the nineties. Not sure how well this works if you don't speak German and therefore might not be able to get a feel for the time and the German-ness (in it's best sense) of this series, but my husband and I both really really loved it.
