From Nerd to Narco Kingpin (in Three Hilariously Illegal Seasons): How to Sell Drugs Online Fast - A Review
Warning: This review contains spoilers and enough dark humor to offend nuns on laundry day. Reader discretion is advised.
Ah, How to Sell Drugs Online Fast. The German dark comedy that had us cheering for a teenage drug dealer named Moritz. Yes, you read that right. This show is like Walter White's wet dream filtered through the lens of a John Hughes movie.
From Acne to Ecstasy: The Rise of MyDrugs
Moritz, our protagonist, is your average, angst-ridden high schooler. Except his angst is fueled by a desire to impress his crush, Lisa. Because what screams "eternal love" louder than becoming a European drug lord, right? Thus begins the epic (and entirely misguided) journey of MyDrugs, Moritz's online drug empire built from his basement.
High Times and Low Blows: The Chaotic Climb to the Top
Our buddy Moritz is no Scarface. His operation is equal parts genius and sheer, dumb luck. Think "Breaking Bad" meets "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." We're talking about coding, undercover stings involving inflatable bananas, and somehow managing to avoid getting his butt kicked by actual gangsters. The laughs come fast and furious, often at the most inappropriate moments (like when said inflatable banana is mistaken for a bomb).
Not all that Glitters is Molly: The Downward Spiral
But as the seasons progress, the humor takes a darker turn. The consequences of Moritz's actions become real, the lines between friends blur, and the allure of easy money starts to rot him from the inside out. This show doesn't shy away from the ugly side of the drug trade. We see addiction, violence, and the destruction of lives.
Taking Stock: A Show Worth Binge-Watching (Legally, of Course)
How to Sell Drugs Online Fast is a wild ride. It's funny, it's dark, it's surprisingly poignant. It'll make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even question your own life choices (hopefully not involving becoming a drug dealer). So, should you watch it? Absolutely. Just remember, kids: drugs are bad, and building a criminal empire from your basement is a terrible idea. There are much easier ways to impress your crush (like, I dunno, talking to her?).
