After a 4-Year Hiatus, Germany's Best Netflix Show After Dark Is Coming Back for Its Final Season
This charming show will finally get the ending it deserves, and it's a great excuse to watch the previous three seasons before the fourth arrives.
Dark was the first German project on Netflix, and it deservedly became a hit, making history not only on the platform, but in the entire TV industry.
However, Germany gave Netflix not only a confusing, but impressive sci-fi masterpiece. One of the most underrated series in the streaming giant's endless catalog is the German dramedy How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast).
After a four-year hiatus, the show is returning for a final fourth season, which is the perfect occasion to binge the entire project.
What Is How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) About?
Nerdy high school student Moritz is going through a breakup with his girlfriend, who chose a drug dealer over him. The main character decides that the best way to get his girlfriend back is to become cooler than his competitor.
Together with his programmer friend Lenny, he opens an online drug store with home delivery and becomes incredibly successful. Relationship problems pale in comparison to the ever-growing clientele, the dissatisfaction of local gangsters, and the attention of investigators.
How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) Is Based on a Real Story
The series is based on the true story of a German teenager: Maximilian Schmidt made millions selling drugs online, but was sentenced to seven years in prison.
For a long time, the police only followed the suspect, hoping to find his bosses. No one could imagine that such a successful business could be created by a lonely guy who spends all his time at the computer.
This Is Not a Heavy Drama Like Breaking Bad, But a Dynamic Teen Series
Despite the dark facts of the main character's biography, the series is a charming and light-hearted dramedy. How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) does not pretend to be a heavy drama like Breaking Bad.
It takes on the task of telling about teenagers' relationships with each other and with adults, about an uncertain future and life in a provincial town.
The story itself is captivating, but the whole show's main asset is its visual language. Moritz sometimes appears as a talking head to explain what is happening on screen, and sometimes the narrative is interrupted by short videos in the spirit of popular science programs.
How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) even before Euphoria ( Sam Levinson's series came out two weeks later) showed teenage life in neon lights and with illegal substances at parties – the main thing to remember is that illegal substances only look attractive and harmless on TV screens.
How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) Season 4 Release Date
The fourth and final season of How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) will be available on Netflix on April 8.
