Gen Z Reviews German Hospital Drama 'In aller Freundschaft'
A Gen Z writer examined the romance and drama in the German series 'In aller Freundschaft,' comparing it to 'Grey's Anatomy.'
German streaming service Joyn has published a review of the popular hospital drama 'In aller Freundschaft' (When I Want to Live). To mark Pride Month, a Gen Z writer explored the romance between nurse Miriam Schneider and sports teacher Rieke Machold featured in the series' 22nd season.
The article drew comparisons between 'In aller Freundschaft' and its American counterpart, 'Grey's Anatomy.' The writer admitted to being curious about the German equivalent and noted aspects such as the sometimes 'goofy' injuries and 'bizarre' conversations. However, the patient storylines received praise for their compelling nature.
The romance, described by the writer as a 'difficult birth,' began with Rieke being in an unhappy relationship. Miriam experienced disappointment and uncertainty until Rieke eventually ended her existing relationship and confessed her feelings as the plot developed towards its climax.
The review concluded with the writer congratulating the series' characters on their budding relationship, while stating a personal need for a break from the drama at 'Sachsenklinik.' Joyn offers broadcasts from German public broadcaster ARD on its platform.
