Season 4

Pastewka (2005), Season 4 — twelve episodes of the German Sat.1 sitcom, watch online on iFILM. Bastian Pastewka plays a lightly fictionalised version of himself: a comedian and working actor based in Cologne whose attempts to navigate everyday life have a talent for backfiring spectacularly.

Season four gives that engine another full lap. Each new attempt to keep things simple ends up complicated, the usual cast of friends and acquaintances prove unpredictably helpful or catastrophic, and Bastian's gap between self-image and reality stays entertainingly wide. It earned the Rose d'Or and the German Television Prize — the kind of recognition that tends to follow a show that knows exactly what it is.
