This excellent series slightly looks like Breaking Bad (2008), in a teens version, with the nerd #1 Moritz Zimmermann instead of Jesse Pinkman and the nerd #2 Lenny Sander instead of Walter White, Jr. but without Walter White aka Heisenberg who is probably hidden somewhere... online. Walter White had initiated a methamphetamine trafficking in order to offer a fortune after his imminent death to his family, and Moritz does the same to lure his forever love back. That makes sense, doesn't it? The script is certainly far-fetched, but this observation is clearly secondary: the actors play excellently and the six episodes follow one after the other, with a dynamic rhythm. Finally, the humor is German typed: definitely not hilarious but subtle and formidably effective.
As a postscript, I'm French and I watched this German series with English subtitles. Why? Well, I'm not fluent enough in German and Netflix behaved like a loathsome skinflint by limiting the subtitles to English. Honestly? That was weird!
