Tschugger

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.

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.

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!

After a long time back and forth, I (a Swiss) let myself be persuaded for the first time to watch a Swiss series production. Still a bit skeptical, I started the first episode and had to admit after 2 minutes that this series is terrific.

I haven't seen the season finale yet, but I'm convinced that it won't disappoint me.

It's not like a typical Swiss series - and at the same time it's very Swiss indeed! Tachugger doesn't try to serve local stereotypes and also doesn't try to hide that this short series is from Switzerland. Just very refreshing with natural dialogues. I am sure this one could also be an international success in near future (of course some banters and local references are hard to translate)
