I just happened to discover Dickensian last week, and really binged through this series. It was so well done, so well crafted. Characters coming to life in a different dimension, a back story was created for Dickens' works. I liked this creative compilation and coalescing of stories and characters. Some characters I truly had visceral antipathy toward - which made me realize how top notch the acting was. I was so disheartened to learn of the reasons why Dickensian stopped at 1 season. It had something to do with scheduling & other programing overlaps in the UK - which resulted in lower viewership in later episodes. I hope someone changes their minds, and brings a season 2.
This is a reality show where people come to a hair salon in Cologne, Germany to get a makeover. Most of the people coming in have an interesting or kind of dramatic life story. Some want a "new style" for a special event, some are going through certain life changes. The guests get their hair done, make up, and a new outfit. I especially enjoy Meike who does the wardrobe as her way of talking gives a real ASMRy vibe. She's usually on only for a few seconds though. This show is only in German and I'm not aware of any place to watch it with subtitles. Some people might find it boring, but I like it because it helps me relax. Also the hairdressers, makeup artists, and wardrobe people are all really likeable and have such a good vibe. It's very sweet and cheerful. You're not going to get the high drama like with Queer Eye, but like I said, I like it because it's so relaxing. My only criticism after watching a handful of episodes is that it's not very ethnically diverse. People of color do live in Germany, so I feel like there could be broader representation with that on the show. Like portraying different skin tones (make up, hair dye), different hair textures, and vastly different life stories. A few of the hairdressers seem to be of Middle Eastern heritage at least. It's a sweet show to vegg out to.
