What Is Der Scheich (The Series)?

 It is a German-Swiss made series....on Paramount Plus (been there for three weeks)....streaming video piece.  Translation?  Sheik.

My description?  A German con-job is laid out....black-humor to the extreme....where a German guy is faking the public and promi-world into thinking he is a Arab wealthy guy.

He (the fake) says he's the illegitimate son of some billionaire, and no one disbelieves it.  Zurich is in the landscape....with everyone falling over themselves to be a part of his circle.  

Eight episodes in the series.

I will suggest that it's very clever on wit and text.  There probably will be a season 2 and 3.  

On German comedy value?  I'd rank it a four-star series.  Sadly, it's only on Paramount-Plus.
