Hippys Insel

Hello, hello! Since you all seemed to like my posts about German movies, I wanted to share a few German TV series with you (based on series I like and/or I know) so you can improve your German by watching them. Have fun!

Doctor’s Diary (funny and cute, about doctors and nurses, almost all the characters are just GREAT, you’ll ship people so damn hard)

Türkisch für Anfänger (iconic!!!)

You are wanted (cyber crime)

Schloss Einstein (actually a show for teenagers, boarding school, I was obsessed with it when I was younger and I think it’s a good show to improve your German)

K11 - Kommissare im Einsatz (pseudo-documentary about crime stuff)

Niedrig und Kuhnt  - Kommissare ermitteln (like K11 but with so many people that you’ll ship with each other)

Wege zum Glück (telenovela, 4 seasons, stuff that your grandma would watch but it is fucking addictive!!! also the villain is SO fucking good and cruel!!!)

Hinter Gittern - Der Frauenknast (basically Orange is the new black of the 90ies in Germany lmao)

KRIMI.DE (a crime show for kids/teens but it’s very nice!)
