Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Austrian TV's answer to Succession, but meaner and more surgical — literally. Schalko adapted his own novel, keeping the clinical detachment that makes the wealth feel contagious.
Udo Kier spent hours in prosthetic makeup daily despite having only ~15 minutes of screen time per episode — he insisted on being fully transformed even for distant shots.
