at the moment the first season of 'the fringe' is on german television. and i really like this series but there is a point which simply ruins the whole creepy atmosphere: the villain is a german.

that musn't be bad but the series wants to present him as a typicall german, while i - as i am german - know that we are kinda different to this guy. it's simply wrong that his way of evil thinking stands in connection to his german roots. again, i don't want to complain about the overused german villain but for germans these villains are simply not enjoyable because they know that this cannot be serious. it's the same for russians who watch a show presenting a russian villain who seems to be the alter ego of stalin. it makes the whole thing more funny than creepy.

so what do you think?
