ZDF can rightly be proud that it is the first German broadcaster to have a series with a non-binary main character – because it’s a really good series. It’s short (the six episodes only last about a quarter of an hour each), but not superficially. Charlie struggles with many problems: a shopaholic mother, a demanding aunt, a dull job and then no job at all.

Above all, Charlie doesn’t know who is actually in the mirror: She doesn’t want to be a woman, but he doesn’t see himself as a man either. What pronoun is suitable for Charlie? Not everything seems 100% believable in this milieu, which – apart from the ignorant mother – turns out to be surprisingly unconservative, but Lea Drinda plays Charlie wonderfully – confused, defiant, desperate, cautiously searching. More of that! (ZDF)
