What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Alles was zählt is a German daily soap set around a figure skating center, and that specific world gives the show a distinct texture: competitive ambition, physical discipline, and the close quarters of a training environment press characters together in ways that keep personal and professional lives permanently entangled. Betrayal, jealousy, and revenge are not occasional plot devices here but recurring conditions, cycling through romantic, familial, and workplace relationships across hundreds of episodes.

Love triangles rarely resolve cleanly before new ones form, and the show builds its momentum from that accumulation. LGBTQ+ relationships are woven into the same dramatic fabric as every other pairing, given the same weight of jealousy and loyalty and fallout. Characters who were rivals become allies, allies become enemies, and the skating center keeps pulling them all back into orbit around each other.

Landman

Paramount+ • Nov 16, 2025
Drama

A modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs.

Why this pick

Landman delivers the same long-running soap payoff as Alles was zählt, with workplace tension and family pressure turning everyday conversations into danger. You get infidelity, fractured marriages, and parent-child friction that escalate fast on screen, but the setting stays rural and the conflicts feel more grounded and business-focused.

The Chi

Showtime • May 22, 2026
Drama

On Chicago's south side, an average day finds kids prepping for school as their parents head off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and the elders keeping an eye on things from their front porches. But in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences. From Emmy® winner Lena Waithe, The Chi is a timely coming-of-age drama series centered on a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.

Why this pick

The Chi shares Alles was zählt’s coming-of-age intensity, where loyalty and ambition collide and one bad decision can change everything. Instead of romance-first melodrama, it leans into communal bonds and sudden, irreversible consequences, making the pacing feel slower and heavier, with danger closer to the neighborhood.
