How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast): From Underdog Teen to Accidental Ecstasy Empire? Ja, meine Güte!
Ah, "How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)," the German dark comedy that had us snorting laughter (not that kind!) and yelling at the screen in equal measure. Let's get this review rolling, faster than Moritz can code a drug-dealing website.
From Losers to Ecstasy Overlords: A Hilarious Recipe for Disaster
We meet Moritz, our protagonist, a lovelorn teen pining after the coolest girl in school. His grand plan to win her back? Become a European ecstasy kingpin. Emphasis on the accidental. What follows is a gloriously ridiculous ride as Moritz, with the help of his equally awkward best friend Lenny, catapults himself from a nobody to a, well, slightly-more-important nobody with a whole lot of MDMA.
Is it Laughably Unrealistic? Absolutely. Is it Entertaining? Verdammt Ja!
The show doesn't shy away from the absurdity of the situation. These are teenagers stumbling through the dark web, their grasp on the criminal underworld about as firm as a wet noodle. Expect hilarious misunderstandings, technical blunders of epic proportions, and enough social awkwardness to make you cringe-laugh. But beneath the surface lies a surprisingly poignant commentary on teenage angst, the yearning for connection, and the perils of the online world.
Characters that Will Make You Want to FacePalm (But Also Root For)
Moritz is our wide-eyed everyman, perpetually out of his depth. Lenny, the tech whiz with a heart of gold (or maybe just a regular heart, who can tell?), is his perfect foil. The supporting cast is a motley crew of oddballs and misfits, each adding their own dose of humor (and chaos) to the mix. You'll want to throttle them sometimes, but you'll also find yourself weirdly invested in their, ahem, entrepreneurial journey.
So, Should You Watch "How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)"?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a show that's funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly thought-provoking, this is the ticket. Just don't take any life lessons from Moritz, unless it's "perhaps international drug trafficking isn't the best path to true love."
Pro Tip: Watching with a friend doubles the fun.
