What to watch to keep practicing your language skills

In times when we can't carry out our normal lives and meet to practice languages, there are many ways to keep learning and to get away from bad news. 

I have put together a list of shows available in Germany (and in other parts of the world) that will make you mostly laugh, lowkey reflect and just forget the madness around you. Most of these shows can also be seen dubbed, but I don't really like that so put in the extra effort and practice your listening skills!

The language level you need for this is advanced. And even though I think that my German is strong, I still need subtitles. The show is very well done and captivating.

Pastewka
Very famous show. One man. One family. Weird humor. 
I have been to TWO Pastewka premiers and apparently, a ton of people love the show and love the actor. Honestly, I don't really understand the humor but give it a try! You have 10 seasons to fall in love with the show.
