The verdict

Is it worth starting?
This is 4 seasons deep — German comedy, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
Don't watch this if…
- you'd rather wait for a consensus. Only 76 ratings in so far
- you're not starting a 4-season show this week
- Why
- Currently 7.6/10 from 76 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
