To the outsider’s eye, Germany might not be famous for its sense of humor. But new series “The Flaws” is ready to change that. 

“I think we are being pretty brave. And also, we don’t care,” said director Arne Feldhusen.

“In Germany, everything is always about thrillers. Few years ago, you weren’t even allowed to say black comedy. It was a bad word and you wouldn’t get any money for it. But we knew there’s an audience for it, and it’s just something we like.”
