Nostalgic for Germans
7 March 2022
Yes, this is just a German youtuber who made a Netflix show. Yes, this is similar to his youtube style. But Julien Bam is not just any youtuber, he is not like any of the cliche influencers out there, his work are qualitatively always insane.

In that regard, I don't quite get the imdb rating. Sure, this is not the best show you will ever see but it is certainly enjoyable.

Story-wise Julien's crew did not reinvent the wheel. Some kind of inter-dimensional disturbance shenanigans makes Julien and Joon travel through dimensions and swap bodies with their other selves. They are confronted with a different reality and face hardships while trying to get back to their original lives. In the meantime, weird things happen, from the gangster rappers to a new sister to LARP players to your obligatory quantum physics professor.

Yeah, yeah, you're right: the plot isn't out of the ordinary. But that isn't what this show is about. It's rather about the little ideas surrounding the show and the humor. Especially if you grew up with Ju and Joon's videos, many jokes will feel very nostalgic to you. And man, that German gangster language just keeps cracking me up. Wallah! Amenakoi!
