Rundfunk plot

Brace yourself. This is Rundfunk. An absurdist, bizarre, unethical, clumsy and hard-hitting series about a totally crazy high school. The German teacher has a dubious fascination for a well-known Austrian politician from the 1930s, the deputy principal prefers to play with the breasts of the Chinese meal delivery lady and the art teacher draws everything on her uninhibited horniness.

That was already the last episode of the season and according to the makers maybe one day. It didn't reach the level of the first season, but I thought it was great again. This is typically a series that gets more fun when friends or colleagues watch it too. This season has also yielded a lot of nice quotes: [spoiler=ep10]even playboy to playboy, I don't know you boy, slap dirty pagga, sir can close that window, je suis Barteljaap etc.

Many characters from the first season are now much better developed, especially Barteljaap, Armani, Eddie and Mister Hulst. Pierre Bokma's character, the German teacher ([spoiler=ep10]or not), was the most expected, but was certainly not the star of the season. I found all the scenes with the character Victor a bit less strong.

We'll get another theater show, but hopefully Rundfunk will be back on the tube next year. Just afraid not..

The second season of Rundfunk is somewhat in the same trap as the newer series of South Park: absurdist sketches with a continuous storyline. Nice that the storylines are extended over several episodes, but sometimes the completely bizarre turns it takes are a bridge too far to keep it believable and convincing. I am more inclined to forgive it myself in individual scenes than when there is some kind of continuity. That lack becomes painfully clear when the penultimate episode has a nice climax and the final episode just messes around to close it.

In addition, I continue to fall for the overt racism, sexism and homophobia, which they get away with because it essentially targets 'the perpetrators' and not the victims. That a Thai hooker like Comfort continues to be portrayed as a nice pedo bait and a colored boy with two white fathers [spoiler=ep10]flies away because he turns out to be an alien, is a not very subtle way to keep other ethnicities down put as strange. In my view it is a way of misusing irony to be able to make hard jokes at the expense of other population groups. In the better episodes there is a kind of social criticism layer, but in other episodes the harsh tone is really meant to be funny with just that misplaced provocation.
