"Lenßen & Partner" is a German scripted reality tv show about a lawyer and his private detectives who work on lower class cases. It is notorious for its low budget and production values, and a lot of it is clichee and stereotypes, but yet it is a hilarious show everyone seems to know.
The show's protagonist is Ingo Lenßen, a lawyer with a special 18th century french fencer's beard and dapper suits. His team consists of two detective couples, one the bullying Christian Storm and Sandra Nitka, the other of the always annoyed and bored Basti Thiele and Katja Hansen. The show is famous for its narrator pointing out the obvious and its titles, such as "The sex-greedy boss".
It is still running weekly after "Columbo" in German TV, so everyone who is out for a good laugh can give it a shot. Special guest is always the early 2000's hightech gadgets they use.
