Concordia – Deadly Utopia (Drama series, ZDF Media Library)

Don't we all dream of living in a safe environment? Of being able to be who we are without anyone bothering us? In the town of Concordia, this is possible – and has been for 20 years. The key to this Swedish small-town idyll was artificial intelligence.
But now a murder has occurred. And the victim was an employee of Concordia's security apparatus. Thea Ryan is hired as an external investigator from Great Britain and is looking for both the perpetrator and how and why the AI ​​was hacked. Is the business basis for a city organized by AI shaky? Exciting!
  • Concordia – Deadly Utopia starts on September 14th in the ZDF media library.

And here is our complete overview with selected offers from the streaming portals in September:

The Rings of Power (fantasy series, season 2, Amazon Prime Video)

You don't have to be a prophet to predict a second round in the social media battle between Tolkien hardliners and progressive Lord of the Rings fans. Is it OK to continue such a fantastic saga with material that doesn't come from the master's hand? Oh well, in the end everyone will have seen this season too.

  • The Rings of Power is currently at Amazon Prime Video launched.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (young adult series, ZDF media library)

For a school project, 17-year-old Pip takes up a solved murder case from five years ago. Pip is certain that there is something wrong with the historical findings. But was it? Little by little, the young woman approaches the truth. A young format, told in a fresh way.

Gags – Comedy Deluxe (comedy series, ARD media library)

Almost exactly 40 years ago, ARD started the series Sketchup with Diether Krebs and Beatrice Richter. The idea was a huge success. Here is the contemporary version of the joke. Six amusing 20-minute quickies to put you in a good mood in between. Including numerous guest stars.

Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War (documentary series, Netflix)

There is something fascinating about the Wild West – and not just for little boys on Shrove Monday. One actor from this era was Wyatt Earp. His profession was a gunslinger. But what was his life really like and the legendary shootout at the OK Corral? You don't have to be a diehard Western fan to like this docutainment series.

  • Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War is currently at Netflix started.

Only Murders in the Building (Comedy Crime Series, Season 4, Disney+)

Comedian Steve Martin will be celebrating his 80th birthday next August. What could be more fitting than to play an actor who is also very mature (and quite quirky)? The crime comedy is now entering its fourth round, and true crime fans Charles, Oliver and Mabel are once again investigating a murder in their New York apartment complex. The solution, however, requires a little patience: Episode 1 has just been released, and there are nine more to follow. One episode per week…

  • Only Murders in the Building (Season 4) has just launched on Disney+.

Youth – it's complicated (sitcom series, ZDF media library)

The group is sitting at a table in an American diner. On one side sits Cathrin (Sarah Gailer), who is pointing her finger at Frank, next to her Sophie (Eli Riccardi) is standing at the end of the table looking at Sophie. On the other side sits Frank (Leon Ullrich) next to Tim (Thomas Schubert).

In “Youth – It’s Complicated,” five friends go from one problem to the next disaster. 06.09.2024 | 1:28 mins

Everyone here is always a little over the top, life is made up of self-made problems and the solutions are usually ineffective. Welcome to the daily chaos of Cathrin, Tim, Sophie, Frank and Susanne. They haven't been young for a long time, by the way, but they probably can't accept that. Pretty crazy!
