Barbarians Season 2: Questions the German Netflix Series Needs to Answer

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Warning: contains spoilers for Barbarians season one. While historians may have other items on their wish list (including more a more accurate representation of 9 AD, judging by some responses), what most viewers want from a second season of Barbarians is escapist action.

A German Youth

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
In the 1960s, the young democracy of West Germany was embarrassed by its Nazi past, and ingrown in its role as imperialist and capitalist outpost faced by its communist double.
