A German drama about activism adapted from a book. On Netflix.

When Tristan arrives in a new school, he quickly makes a name for itself by defending loner girl and son of immigrant. He incite people to speak their mind, and dare to dream of a better world and take action. With 4 others students,  they starts some happening to protest against consumerism, plastics, ...

I quite enjoyed the show. The subject is interesting and very contemporary considering all the different  protest and revolution around the world at the moment. The cast is quite good, and their characters likable. I just wished they went a bit further and darker: it goes a few times on the edge, but it always ends up going fine. This season of 6 episodes tells a full story, but the show clearly has some potential for a second season.

Verdict: Quite good.
