Feb 28, 202534m
TMDB rating 8.0TMDB
How wonderful that was: Two crosses on Sunday and the election was over. Four years of peace! But first, we need to talk about the mood during the election campaign: Why was there so much talk about migration – and does Alice Weidel prefer a suit or joggers?

Anyone who wants German Children for Germany
Mar 21, 202533m
TMDB rating 6.0TMDB
Birth rates – sounds like a Saturday night game show, but they actually refer to the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime. This number is supposedly too low. Do we really have a problem with offspring?

Germany - An experience
Apr 25, 202530m
TMDB rating 8.0TMDB
When we suggested Jan get some fresh air, we actually meant a short walk – but Jan preferred to cross the country on his e-scooter. Who do you meet on a trip like that? How long does a battery charge last? And what's the point of all this?
Episode 12
And with us the flood: Flood protection in Germany
May 2, 202531m
TMDB rating 8.0TMDB
Protecting the population should actually be an uncontroversial issue, right? Far from it, because such an unsightly dike is a thorn in the side for some: angry residents, greedy archdukes, and a forgetful leaflet-distributing brother are putting obstacles in the way of flood protection.
