Family Mix

I first thought this was a program to teach me a foreign language. Ha, ha. Delightful, funny, deep, inspiring story about people from two radically different cultures learning to get along. Everyone should see this. Wish there was an English version.

The first two seasons I'd go at least for an 8/10, when it comes to rating this. The third season though is quite the downfall (or as the term goes, jumps the shark). Whle it still isn't a bad show (and for German standards it's almost phenomenal), it does lack the drive and hillarity of the way this started. Taking cliches and turning them upside down more often than not really works wonders for this. While there are still moments where this may be called misguided and uneven (depiction of certain people or nationalities), this is not meant to be seen as too serious.

Something that is or gets way over the top by season 3, where it loses touch with "reality" many times. One of the German TV shows that was ever produced and shining a much needed light on a much maligned and often underrepresented group of people, this almost does some social work ... and was quite the phenomenon when it first aired ... and still finds new fans I reckon! And why not ... just don't expect much of the last season

It's a nice series plotting the chaos in a case of marriage of a couple from totally different cultures. Kids from previous marriages have serious problems of adopting the new siblings and their life styles. The German family is a typical family of German, whereas the Turkish family is an extremely religious sort of Turkish family living abroad for 1-2 generations. In fact, It's quite convenient to practice German language with this title. But it's creepy weird to see none of the cast is from Turkish origin, despite the fact that there are a couple of millions of Turkish-origin people in Germany. I was able to confirm this by checking out the names of cast.

I've watched it around 15 times already and didn't regret it a single moment. Family, love, and Drama meets comedy. Extreamly funny and addicting. After watching it it a few times it almost feels like as if I myself would be in the show. Cem-costa is a incredible dynamic. Hermi incredible funny and metin is in my opinion the nicest character.

I've rewatched it so many times! Lena has defined my adolescence, especially the beginning of her relationship with the first boyfriend (avoiding spoilers). This show is a must see and it's truly HILARIOUS, but I have to warn you - first two seasons are a miracle, but the third one is a fever dream that should not exist (watch only as a separate story, the real one stops at the great ending of the 2nd season)
