Berlin, Berlin

In the first Season Lolle (short from Charlotta) rushed to Berlin to find her ex-boyfriend with another woman. She decided to stay with her cousin Sven and her new friend Rosalie, a lesbian actress. Through the year Lolle had some crazy and sad love affairs and then she fall in love with her cousin, who as an ex-wife and a son, who he misses a lot. After their first night Lolle is confused and not able to stay at his side. When Silvia, Svens ex makes the decision to move back to Sven. Lolles heart is broken. Second Season: Rosalie, now one of Lolles closest friends left town, and Sven is with his ex. Lolle get to know a new man - Alex, but then Sven wants her back... Expect a lot of great storyline, comic scenes and Lolles thoughts to see whats up in her mind. I love that show.

As I am living in Holland (German origin) I was really glad that I could receive ARD. The bad thing was that I could not talk with my friends over here about it (it's a shame that 'Berlin, Berlin' is not aired on Dutch TV).

I especially like the comic idea about it and the funny, weird and sometimes sad relationship between Lolle (Felicitas Woll) and Sven (Jan Sosniok).

The first season however is my favorite one (because of Rosalie (Sandra Borgmann) I guess) but still the other three seasons are very good as well. There is always something crazy, something funny, something unreal but still imaginably real in every episode (I praise the writer(s) - David Safier!).

If you have the chance just watch it and see yourself!

I'm in Germany for an Internship (I'm from the Netherlands) and everyday at 18.50 we drink soup and watch 'Berlin Berlin'. It learns me how to speak German and gives my life meaning. Lolle is THE most beautifull girl in Germany (believe me, I've been here for 2 months and there isn't much competition). I hope they will make a nice DVD-set off the series... People, believe me, watch it and be happy!

Felicitas Woll plays Lolle (yeah, that's a name, not an insult) who comes a small town to Berlin to be with her boyfriend and become a comic-writer. But (oh my god) her boyfriend has a new one! Drama at it's best. I guess... Joining Woll (who has the charme of a dead skunk) in this hopeless effort are actors Jan Sosniok (whom you just wish be banned for life from the screen), Sandra Borgmann (who plays a lesbian and seems at least a bit talented) and Matthias Klimsa. To make it even worse some horrible comic-scenes were added. Great idea (you know...Comic-writer...hint, hint).

I really thought it was the worst series on German TV (and we have a lot of bad stuff), but I recently watched "Alicia". Almost makes this non-sense looks good.

Lolle went to Berlin, Germany. And that is where the trouble starts. She has a lot to learn about the big city and to fit into the situations. Getting a job or getting a new boyfriend. But she gets some good friends who try to help her setting up her life, which isn't always easy. She has problems all of us had already. And that is the charming of that series. I am really looking forward to the new episodes.
