Perfekt Verpasst

Bastian Pastewka and Anke Engelke play a "couple" who don't meet, even though they should. Everything takes place in a charming little town where everyone knows everyone else. Except for Bastian and Anke. Why is that? Never mind. Sounds like a good premise for a nice comedy. And both actors can be absolutely great. But not in this series. I'm now through episode 3 and don't know what to make of it. There's really zero humor. But maybe the show is just supposed to be a long-winded drama?

Bastian drifts through the scenes in a melancholy mood because he's just got divorced and wants to be a great da for his daughters. Anke is just in a bad mood because her former girlfriend has allegedly stolen the idea for a novel series from her. And as a viewer you have to ask yourself, is something happening out of that premise? Unfortunately not until the end of episode three. Anyone looking for humor or even comedy is in the wrong place here. Terrible waste of two great comedians.

But then again, mabe the show is supposed to be a drama.
