With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Police Squad! or Daria, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: 7 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Neues aus der Anstalt is a political cabaret program on German television station ZDF, hosted by Urban Priol and Frank-Markus Barwasser, who replaced Georg Schramm. Broadcast monthly since 2007, it usually features three guest cabaret artists in addition to the hosts.
