“Do we still need a coming-of-age series, showing that real life is not as glossy as it appears on Instagram? After eight episodes of Oh Hell, one has to say: absolutely. Oh Hell comes with many hilarious scenes. Mala Emde (…) considered a great up-and-coming star of German cinema, plays her role wonderfully, with a lot of energy and a precise sense for punchlines.”
“With dialogue close to Monty Python and a visual language in the direction of Wes Anderson, a real-life satirical portion of lunacy that is rare in this country, the showrunner’s scripts not only paint the tragicomic picture of a compulsive (self-)deceiver. Simon Ostermann and Lisa Miller turn it into a disarmingly funny didactic play about the mechanics of our decked-out attention society, in which unpolished free spirits like this one sadly or cheerfully fail.”
“The dialogue is spot on, the humor never gets clumsy (even with supposedly simple goals like Instagram mindfulness) and the pace is right in every single one of the almost 30-minute episodes directed by Lisa Miller and Simon Ostermann. “Oh Hell” is a great pleasure – and an exceptional phenomenon among German series. It gives us hope that it won’t stop there.”
The good friends production (ZDF / Servus TV) “The Winemaker” is nominated for the 44th Jupiter Award in the national “Best Film“ category (TV & Streaming).
