The casting for this show is brilliant. The characters have great chemistry, and the writing and acting has a freshness that, from my perspective, has been notably lacking in many German shows over the past few decades.
Considering the ethnic minority status of most of the actors, there's something refreshing in the way that their characters are represented as simultaneously "other" and yet thoroughly German. This makes the show both relatable (for those who might feel alienated by more esoteric themes around the characters' "other" identity) and yet fresh in the way it acknowledges demographic changes that are also very real and happening all over the world.
Certainly worth giving a try. Might be more appealing to people around middle age or younger.
