Average but good german tv-drama

This mini-series is the latest production by Dieter Wedel, a quite succesful German tv producer. It's about politics. Corruption and mayor elections. Really a quite good show! The problem is, it is a miserable try to correct the misere the german movie business is in. Germany needs more GOOD movies like "Knocking on Heaven's Door" or "Stalingrad" to gain international respect. And to all Americans: Try to watch german stuff, if german stuff gets released in America, there is a chance that the situation gets better.
