Trivia
The name of George Clooney's character is Scheisskopf. In German, "kopf" means "head" (in both the anatomical and hierarchical senses) and "scheiss" is a vulgarism meaning "feces" (and having the same colloquial meaning as the English word "shit"). So translated literally, "Scheisskopf" means "shithead," though that exact insult doesn't exist in German.

Wonderful rendering of the classic satirical novel

This is a very enjoyable watch, especially if you read the book and saw the movie way back when they were "a thing." The acting is superb and the battle scenes are realistic but not too graphically violent. I appreciate a director and writer who do not feel they must gross us out at every turn. It has a nice subtlety and that was lacking in the original movie. It's a bit drawn out at points and some of the "mood" scenes could definitely be shortened and I think this would enhance the overall series, perhaps reducing it to 5 episodes instead of 6. I found the sex gratuitous and initially turned me off from watching the rest of it all. Why or why do writers/directors feel they MUST add a woman's nude body to each and every series and film?
