La vida es una anomalía, con Julien Bam

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.

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.

First of all, it doesn't make sense to call this a series when there are only 4 episodes. If anything, this should have at least been a movie.

Second, you're not missing anything with this series.

It's a major misconception that if you are a successful internet star, you would have the experience and talent to direct a television series and act at a level that it would be released by one of the biggest streaming services.

Third, the entire show is predictable, not funny, largely cringe, and poorly written. Also, it feels like several YouTube videos were randomly strung together, so the target audience is the same people who watch the clips of influencer Julien Bam, who just wanted to give space to all his ideas with this poor attempt to establish himself in the big, wide world of television. But that doesn't work at all when every, really every cliché is fulfilled.

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.

For me it was really entertaining. I had so many good laughs and it is produced to perfection, especially considering the circumstances. Its not easy to put this one into an existing genre-box and that's what makes it so special.
