    How to sell drugs online fast was a great show because they kept stressing how they had to have the test pass in their Vue front end.

    I always whenever I see code on a show/movie I wonder if it's real, a lot of times it's a mix of random languages. Sometimes just jibberish.

    Also recently watched Nirvana 1997 really good.

    Nobody Wants This; Bridgerton; Wednesday; Man on the Inside; 3 Body Problem; Emily in Paris; the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender; Love, Death, and Robots; How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast); Is It Cake?; Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney; and some others I’ve definitely had conversations about outside my own household.

    Arcane was a pretty big deal and it was released on Netflix and TenCent.

    They also have continued series that originated on other networks, including Unsolved Mysteries and Black Mirror.

    I know several people who watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix and are excited about the upcoming CDPR and Netflix project set in the Cyberpunk universe.

    I’ve had recommended to me and have recommended to others quite a few of their original movies. You might like 6 Undergound if you’re looking for an action movie.

    I liked "How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)", first season.

    Generally speaking, you can use the xz story as a background for every type of movie set in the present, an eg.: think about the God's Eye story from the Fast & Furious series. Theoretically, the xz rce can give you more or less the same power God's Eys gives you in the film.

    Along the same lines there’s a German show (on US Netflix) called “How to Sell Drugs Online Fast” that’s loosely based on the true story of a teenager[1] who started an online drug business from his bedroom. It’s pretty funny and a bit Silicon Valley-esque. There’s also a documentary where he’s interviewed. I think it’s called “Shiny Flakes” which was the name of his website.

    > I speak German and trying to keep up with the language in America is nearly impossible because I can't find any good source of German language

    I find that hard to believe. Nowadays it is so easy to get a lot of stuff online.

    > books

    For older stuff there is the English Gutenberg or the German Gutenberg site and Wikisource also has some stuff.

    And almost all books released in German are available as DRM free ePubs. Sign up to e.g. https://www.ebook.de/ with an email and minimal fake address (they require one even if you don't buy physical books) and pay with paypal.

    > or TV shows or movies here in the US.

    The public stations put a lot of stuff online. Google for "Mediathek" and the channel name (ARD, ZDF, 3Sat, ARTE, ORF, SRF). Most stuff shouldn't be geolocked and if it is, youtube-dl works also on those Mediatheken, too and if it is really geolocked, try the option '--geo-bypass-country de'. If that doesn't work, get a VPN like NordVPN.

    Youtube also has lots of stuff. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_(Medienangebot) is a network of publicly funded producers, but it is entirely online, geared towards younger viewers but has lots of informative channels. Two of my favorites are mailab (short clips, topic always something scientific) or kurzgesagt (similar style as xkcd but with colored animations [they are Munich based, started out in English but added German content since being payed for it]). And the best thing is that all those shows are subtitled.

    Depending on your age and if you are watching Let's Plays, people like Gronkh and the Rocketbeans might suit you. Or look for German channels on Twitch.

    And as others already said, podcasts are big in Germany. Or online radio stations.

    Also Netflix now. Of course "Dark" but especially"How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)" is a great one.

    > And beyond trying to legally purchase them, it's difficult to even pirate German language media. It just doesn't exist.

    It does. You're just looking in the wrong places. :-)

    Mldonkey is surprisingly often still used for that. Also some plain old download sites (granted, that are not that easy to find if you're not a regular on German sites).

    Anybody can hit me up if they want some pointers (mail from profile, dingir_bhaak on Twitter, or bhaak on Freenode IRC).
