6. Die Discounter
Release year: 2021 | Episodes: 40 episodes in 4 seasons | Streaming platform: Amazon Prime Video
What is Die Discounter about? It follows the daily life of a fictional German discounter from the chain Feinkost Kolinski
in Hamburg. Like The Office, the series is filmed like a fictional documentary, where all sorts of absurd situations occur.
What makes Die Discounter so good? German comedy productions usually have a rather bad reputation, but Die Discounter
sets itself apart by feeling completely different from traditional German comedy. The characters are incredibly unpleasant, yet charming. Like with Scrubs, there is also a love story that just doesn’t want to work.
You can tell that young people conceptualized the series because it has a certain youthful Assi-Style
. This is not meant negatively, as that’s precisely the charm of the series. It’s not simply like The Office; it’s authentically German
. Anyone who has ever worked in a similar profession will have an incredible amount of fun with the series.
