New German Series?

 There's a new Disney-Plus TV series for Germany....to be aired in early 2024.  Title?  'Pauline'.

Script?  Well....this German girl (figure age 18) has a one-night stand with a guy she met.  Yes, she gets pregnant.

So, as time passes (not sure if it's in episode one or drawn out for several episodes)....it turns out that the guy is actually the Devil (in some human form).

Comedy design?  Well...it would appear on various reports of the series....that's the idea.

I paused over this.  I've probably seen at least 200 German comedy shows over the years....some were built with marginal material, and needed to be cancelled after season one.  Some actually had decent characters and they could have gone on to make fifty episodes (if they wanted).

This devil-turned-father idea?  I just don't see this working well, but Disney is probably desperate to get some German created material out there and this was the best they could find.
