Tschugger

Such a lovely piece of series from the swiss valley of wallis. The actors are amateurs. The plot and the setting are so much fun. I want to see more of that!!!

And i'm pretty sure even you don't understand all the small valais stereotypes of corruption, strange language... even without insider knowledge theres a lot to laugh about.

Very stylish settings meet strange humour meets trash police stuff.

Oh wow, the Swiss CAN be funny!

I was intrigued by this series being described to me as "The Swiss version of Brooklyn 99" but I must say, this is even better. Very well written, with a mix of comedy, suspence, just enough gore to make it interesting, and some sweets moments too. I love that it is set in a very small, very local part of Switzerland (the canton Valais) and it has many silly inside jokes that the Swiss will get but will make other viewers laugh, too.

I love the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously while simultaneously providing top quality entertainment.

The language is so local that even German-speaking people will need subtitles, but in exchange you will learn some amazing new idioms that you can use to impress your friends!

The retro feeling of the titles is so cool, and the theme tune is extra catchy!

Kudos to the amazing David Constantin who wrote, directed and starred in it.

I watched season 1 without any expectations but was greatly surprised how well it was written, acted and produced. Then I went for season 2 and was blown away. It was much more mature, had great visuals and the humour simply was fantastic. But besides all the fun stuff there were also the serious parts which I absolutely didn't anticipated.

David Constatin (Bax) has a great sense of humour and understands how to reach out to the rest of the nation although using native Canton Valais language (accent), local traditions and mindset.

At the same time though this makes "Tschugger" which stands for Cop/Police a Swiss series for Swiss people only. Because as soon as you dub this into another language it loses 80% of it's humour. This is not meant as cirtique, it's just what it is.

Also, congrats to Dragan (Pirmin) and the rest of the cast and crew who simply did a stunning job. I so enjoyed Tschugger and can't wait for season 3.

Chillwave Bax.

This series is fast-paced and incredibly funny. It takes a lot for me to find something really funny. In addition, of course, there is the Valais dialect, which gives the series additional charm. And yes, the subtitles are sometimes necessary, because it's all very fast and those who aren't really used to the Valais German will have trouble. I never would have thought that Switzerland could pull off such a series. You can hardly breathe, it's so packed and the story with all its surprises is super coherent, sometimes morbid, macabre, but hilarious and it doesn't get boring for a second. Maybe the series will be dubbed into other languages (German!), although of course something will be lost then, the Valais language is such a hit. The actors are simply stunning, top performance! Hey Switzerland: Great job!

Tschugger is the best Swiss TV show that I have ever seen. Which might also be due to the fact that I have never seen any other Swiss shows before.

But seriously, it's a very good show.

A lovely mix of crime and comedy, shot and edited in a unique manner. It's not very complicated or deep, but it is a lot of fun.

The actors are all very good and there are some really great characters in this show. My personal favourite is "Smetterling" the nerdy police apprentice.

"Tschugger" is at it's best, whent it makes fun of itself and the characters, which is most of the time. The more serious parts can be a bit cliché, but it is definitely a show worth watching in my opinion.

The story is finished after season two, the episodes are about 25 minutes in length. I wouldn't mind seeing more from the creators of this show, I will definitely keep an eye out.
