German retail also makes Keanu Reeves and Alex Cross despair. This at least applies to the series charts on Amazon Prime Video, where season 4 of the German comedy format Die Discounter has an iron grip on number 1.
Amazon Prime hit The discounter has 2 big role models
The Discounter revolves around the staff of the Hamburg supermarket Feinkost Kolinski, which is run by Thorsten (Marc Hosemann). Employees like Jonas (Merlin Sandmeyer), Pina (Klara Lange) or Flora (Nura Habib Omer) live an everyday life between yawning boredom and absolute madness.

Fans won’t be surprised by the series’ success in the charts: there are now at least four seasons, and in 2024 Die Discounter was named the best comedy series awarded the German Television Prize.
Similar to Stromberg and The Office, from which The Discounters borrowed some elements, the Amazon series also has two direct models: the Dutch series Vakkenvullers and the US format Superstore. Both also play in a discount store whose staff make life difficult for each other.

The popularity of the German comedy series is also reflected in how many well-known competitors among the Amazon series it has left behind. For example, the video game adaptation Secret Level, in which Keanu Reeves becomes a tough fighting machine, and the crime series Alex Cross are in second and third place.
This is what the series charts on Amazon Prime Video currently look like:
