We have been waiting for this one for a long time now. Our dearest Jannis Niewohner takes a role in the series which is a reinterpretation of the 
Nibelungen saga centering on Hagen von Tronje, a Viking who allies himself with the ancient gods and takes up arms against an unscrupulous ruler.

Very interesting proposals. I was most intrigued by the series from Spain.
ReplyDeleteHope we will manage to see at least some of them.
DeleteMost probably in Netflix, they've been buying Atres production these last years.
DeleteThey did stream his Heirs to the Land.
DeleteNow that you mention it, it has a lot of Spanish period pieces and not all from Atres. La Catedral del Mar, Tiempos de Guerra, Cable Girls (I think that is a Netflix co-op), The Cook of Castamar and The Patietts of Doctor Garcia. They also had Time in Between.
DeleteI am currently watching their Smiley comedy series, it is both good and annoying but the lead couple is hot together.
DeleteGeez..I had to google who Jannis Niewohner is...haven't watched anything from him at all.
ReplyDeleteJesus Maria, Angie, he is your biggest star and my absolute fave of all Germans! I watched almost all of his films and shows. He was amazing as Maximilian, as Felix Krull, as Narcissus... simply brilliant and gorgeous too.
DeleteHagen is one that I'll be looking for. It's similar to my birth name Haga. I wonder if the two are connected. I'll have to go Google this now.
ReplyDeleteIt is of German origin.
DeleteHaga seems to be mostly from Norway, Sweden and Japan. Makes sense since there is a Haga castle in Sweden. My pen pal in middle school sent me literature on the Haga castle (way before Google was even a thing). I should roll up and claim it as my new home LOLOL
DeleteI've seen it, does not look overly interesting, very boring structure, you can do better than that LOL
DeleteA castle is a step up from my current residence even if it is boring LMAO!
DeleteBut imagine the expenses.... Most of current aristocrats that inherited old palaces do not know how to keep them as they cost something terrible and they no longer have other land to gain money from it.
DeleteIt's like kids here who think they will be able to inherit their parents houses and it will be free living for the rest of their lives. They don't realize that even if the house is fully paid for, there will still be property taxes, insurance, upkeep... you still need to pay for that stuff. My nephew really thought he was going to inherit my mom's house and live there without a job for the rest of his life. She was like, "no sir. it's getting sold because you'll lose it within a year." And he would too, because he graduated early at 16, but still hasn't ever had a job even though he's 18 now. So for 2 years he's just been existing in her house, not contributing.
DeleteWell he is still a boy, he will find his way sooner or later. Some houses are really so expensive to upkeep. Our monthly expenses with taxes, electricity and heating are about 300 euro and average salary monthly is 500 euro, so one person could hardly be able to pay it every month.
