I didn't expect much from the show, but once I started watching, I couldn't stop. The story is unbelievable. Feels like no one could've made that stuff up. And it isn't made up at all. It is actually a true story told by a truly diverse team that has created a show, that is in my humble opinion one of the best German productions in a while. If you're interested in a yet untold view to East German post war life, this is your show. The perspective of a black man in Saxony, without this being a stereotypical victim narrative, but an authentic story of a young man struggling with his place in the world. Struggle that only people of color would usually be able to understand.
