For me personally not a single show needs to be longer than 5 seasons

I watch the news everyday, I'm also not american so there really are no likes and clicks involved

English does have compound nouns like grasshopper too! And I honestly dont really see the big difference between the constructs Wohnzimmer and its literal translation living room. Sure, you can create long new(ish) words like Kreuzworträtselleitfaden (crossword puzzle guide) but I guess thats not as exciting for a native speaker any longer. Sorry to disappoint

Not at all :) I've read two books in french so far, have a little knowledge about multiple languages and a linguistics degree but for me personally nothing beats reading in german.

edit: and at this point I doubt its due to lack of english skills

Thats probably it. I just love my mother tongue and the growing dominance of english makes me a bit sad, tbh.

It might just be me but dont be disappointed if you dont get the same pleasure from reading in a foreign language. I've read several hundred books in english and pretty much exclusively watch english tv shows and I still vastly prefer reading in my mother tongue.

I'm 30 and when I went to an exhibition with my parents last year the cashier gave me a ticket for under 14 yo unasked. Still annoyed me

I realize I sound super prude but I watched the first few episodes and feel like there are too many sexual jokes...not american btw, the premise is really fun but the humour just doesnt work for me

Friendly reminder there's a whole world outside of America too! (Ok, it seems to be available for the UK and Spain but still...)

I just write notices on my phone

Not really, maybe I should try that in the future

Mh I've reread all books I've enjoyed in school at least once to see if my opinion changed. Otherwise I tend to reread my favourites like Messiah by Gore Vidal, Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, Kafka, Hesse, Pratchett, Matt Ruff...every few years. While I do read a lot of fantasy I'm not into long series and barely reread them at all.

I guess I simply like good characters and well written plots that make me think.

I live in Austria, maybe my postman just hates me...

where do you live if I may ask? i buy there sometimes but it often takes a month...

I personally only pay for disney because of the fox/hulu/star shows, so without them they wouldnt get my euros at least

Probably the austrian/german one but I might be biased. Its also pretty different from the original

Thanks, I'll let you know if I ever start one ;)

or german disney

i'm definitely into that trend

I've heard that the israeli version is pretty different though.

One of my weird hobbies is comparing adaptions from all over the world, I love how The Bridge, for example has been adapted six times already.

The catalan show Polseres Vermelles (polseres rojas in spanish) has also been super successfully adapted in italy, france and germany, the american red band society was a flop though.

Did you watch Tatortreiniger? I also liked Morgen hör ich auf and Bruder - Schwarze Macht. Der Pass is also not bad, Club der roten Bänder was a superior adaption than Red Band Society. Dark is a german show too. In addition Netflix made Unorthodox which won the Emmy for Best Mini-Series.

I have to admit I never watched it

Just wanted to add that Tatort is not for old people only, there are a few public viewing events in bars and stuff. I usually also watch the austrian episodes for patriotic reasons. There is a team from Switzerland too.

Sometimes I'm thinking about it, at least
