In my opinion, Druck offers a less "pretty" approach to the original. The characters are more rugged and realistic, without trying to artificially create this environment. The music choices are great, the story is well told and although kept within the boundaries of the Norwegian original, creates and immersive and unique experience. Especially with season 3, Druck plays itself not just as a worthy successor, but a great stand-alone.

The concept of Druck (Skam) is simply genius, small clips are broadcasted at the exact same time the character are living it. It is very immersive and addictive! Season S6 has overtaken everything with Fatou Jallow, a proud out lesbian, who will face normal teenager issues and heart breaks. The representation is extraordinary (and I'm weighted my word) with a sapphic relationship treated and handled as 2 persons falling in love independently of their genders or sexual orientations. It's refreshing and this kind of representation should be a standard.

The show tackles so many important topics and the amount of the representation can't be found in any other German tv show. I love ervery season and can absolutely recommend it!!
