Two exciting series are starting on Amazon Prime Video. In addition to the red-light district milieu study “Luden – Kings of the Reeperbahn”, there is also a biopic series in which the rise and fall of the fictional band in the 1970s is thematised.
A German series that dares to do something? You can have this hope in view of the first trailer for “Luden – Kings of the Reeperbahn”, which greets its viewers with the words “You can’t imagine what goes into such a pussy” and shows a lady who is training for a special kind of ping-pong show.
Perhaps the first series highlight of the year awaits us with this lavishly produced Reeperbahn portrait from Amazon? In any case, the subject matter is highly exciting, after all, “Luden – Könige der Reeperbahn” is a milieu study that takes a closer look at what was probably Germany’s most notorious red-light district in the early 1980s – and anyone who dives into this world of drugs, prostitution and violence and also makes it a subject will hopefully not do so half-heartedly.
The series is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video – at no extra cost to Prime users.
AND THAT’S WHAT “LUDEN – KÖNIGE DER REEPERBAHN “
IS ALL ABOUT.
At the beginning of the eighties, the Reeperbahn is THE party mile in Germany: drugs, disco, sex – here everyone really finds something to their taste. But in the background of the party business, gangsters earn a golden nose.
Klaus Barkowsky (Aaron Hilmer) also wants a piece of the pie. The tough prostitute Jutta (Jeanette Hain) leads him into the shadowy world of the Reeperbahn and makes him her pimp without further ado. Together with some like-minded people, Klaus founds the “Nutella Gang” and tries to establish himself in the dirty milieu. But unfortunately, the established lads of the GMBH have something against this new competition and violent and violent confrontations soon follow. But this is not the only problem for the new brothels, because the AIDS crisis is on the rise and is causing the prostitution business to implode. But Klaus and his people don’t want to give up that easily…
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL-LIFESTYLE IN “DAISY JONES AND THE SIX “
If you don’t fancy the grime of the Reeperbahn, but do like sex and drugs, take a look at the series “Daisy Jones And The Six”, which focuses on the wild rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle of one of the most successful bands of the 1970s. You’ve never heard of the band Daisy Jones And The Six? Don’t worry, you don’t have to question your own music knowledge now, because this is a fictional band already invented by Taylor Jenkins Reid for his novel of the same name.
This is the story of Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) growing up in Los Angeles in the 1960s. Sex, drugs and rock’n’roll are the order of the day in her youth. She soon celebrates her first musical successes as a singer and composer, but it is her collaboration with Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin), the moody frontman of the rock band The Six, that helps her achieve her final breakthrough.
The band’s rise together is meteoric, and after several worldwide hits, the band is at the peak of their creative powers in the 1970s. But the band’s musical relationship is anything but stable and after their quick world fame comes a deep fall…
