Only if you are advanced. Fast teen slang and constant internet talk make this Netflix comedy a hard listen, though if your German is already strong, it is one of the best ways to hear how young people play with language.

Why it works for learners
The show is built around school-age characters running an online business, so you get a mix you will not find in textbooks: youth slang, tech and business terms, and English borrowings dropped into German sentences. Episodes are only about 33 minutes, which helps with such demanding listening. Moritz's narration offers some structure, explaining what is going on, and on-screen text adds reading practice. It is close to how many young Germans sound online.
What makes it hard
Speech is quick, full of slang and borrowed English that can feel familiar without being clear. The visual gags and on-screen text compete for your attention, and the slang will date. Drug and business terms are also not vocabulary you will need often.
How to use it
Watch with German subtitles if available, and pause on on-screen text. Keep a short list of slang and check how it is really used before saying it. Treat it as listening for fun, in a few episodes at a time, not as speech to copy.
