- SOKO Wismar is a German crime series.
- Samy, a young European parliamentary assistant arrives in Brussels a few weeks after the Brexit referendum. He is obviously not fit for the job. In fact, Samy doesn't know much about European institutions and he hopes to get away with it thanks to his wit and cleverness - Well, though luck: he gets quickly assigned an obscure mission : write a report on finning (the act of removing fins from sharks and discarding the rest of the animal). How do you get a report adopted at the European Parliament? Samy has no clue. He has six months to make it, six months to master the secrets of the Parliament. Powerful forces will work against him - to start with, a general indifference. Nobody cares about saving sharks - they are far less popular than dolphins. Samy embarks on a journey made of trials and sacrifices, alternating between psychodrama and comedy. For the first time in his life, he mustn't do his best - but his job. At the end of season one of The Parliament, Samy will have changed the world. Well, just a tiny bit, but still, Samy will have made a difference. And to be honest, there are not so many youngsters who can say so.

- The predominantly female readership loves the romantic love novels that the Berlin author Max Mangold writes under the female pseudonym Jana van Hausten. For the anniversary edition of "Stürmische Zeiten" he gets into a real creative, life and marriage crisis despite the best sales figures. His publisher is pushing for the next bestseller to be completed and his wife Susanne, a respected law professor, decides to accept a call from Rostock University for a year. Alone because her marriage needs a break, explains Susanne. Max suspects that she is alone because her old childhood sweetheart, the fisherman Jörn, lives in Rostock. For the time being, Susanne is staying at her mother Greta's rural inn, who thinks as much of her son-in-law as he thinks of her: very little. But that doesn't stop Max from following his wife and camping in front of the inn because Greta refuses to give him a room. Max persistently courts Susanne and initially only impresses his mother-in-law, who turns out to be an ally. While torpedoing Jörn's advances to Susanne and at the same time struggling with his next novel, Max meets the attractive hairdresser Nancy. She has read all 25 of Jana van Hausten's novels and is using unusual means to help him overcome his writer's block.
