My Negativity Over German TV Options

 Luckily, I have Netflix and Paramount options.

First, I've reached the point where I can't stand these cooking shows (which my wife is thrilled over).

Second, the 'auslander' (German's leaving Germany) shows....I'm mostly shaking my head over.

Third, the promi-game-show crap....which there's around four of these per week....marginally worth watching.

Fourth, the Hartz-IV/welfare/loser/druggie shows...making up  around 3 to 5 shows per week....has zero entertainment value.

Fifth, the murder-drama series....typically making up four shows per week....is 50-50 at best.  

Sixth, soccer was a plus-up....until  this year, where they are featuring 2nd Bundes League teams....who aren't that great.

Seventh....the doctor-doctor, or nurse-saves-people  series.....are marginally worth watching.

I'm not saying it's all crap...just probably around 75-percent.  To be honest....the US options are not much better.

Agreed! YouTube is my go to. There is some great content out there, but you do have to sift through a lot of junk.

I have Prime, Netflix and Disney. All are becoming more and more useless. It seems every show now has to have an LGBTQURST theme. My wife likes those SOKO shows, Bares fur Rares and Zuhause im Gluck. Not my cup of Joe. Thank the heavens I have hobbies.

You know....Bares fur Rares....I can watch all day long. Even these economic-knowledge shows (like 'MEX')....I can watch without any complaints. I quit Netflix 2 months ago....the whole LGBTQ thing had reached a point where it's a joke. Any day now....I expect the Flintstones to be brought back....with Barney going 'Q' and Betty as a 'B-gal' swinger.
