Lolle

This show may be German, but it is excellent!!!! It's crazy, funny, and sometimes oh so true!!! Lolle and her friends just make you laugh, and you spend a real good time watching it!! Just wish I could find a DVD!!! Anyway, this really changes from silly shows, because Lolle is not the typical girl you usually see. She can't make up her mind between two guys (and, well, I can easily understand, 'coz they are both wonderful), and what is excellent, is that every character is not perfect!! They all make (big) mistakes, or wrong choices that put them in, well, strange and totally crazy situation!!! That such a big deal!!!

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.

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!

This show is amazing, even watching from Australia without subtitles and only being able to understand half of it, it is still one of the best comedies/dramas I've ever seen! The acting is great, the characters are lovable and most of all, Matthias Schloo is the most adorable thing I have ever seen, making season 2 & 3 the best of them all! The plots are great and the cartoons make it so easy to understand what Lolle is feeling at the time. Felicitas Woll is a great actress and makes Lolle seem so real. I can't get enough of the show and the characters, and I'll be extremely happy if it is ever screened in Australia!!!
