House of Bellevue: Watch Queer German Ballroom Drama Series with English Subtitles here
House of Bellevue tells the story of Emm, a bi black man who moves from his provincial hometown to Berlin and becomes involved with the local ballroom community, hoping to join Mother Lia's House of Bellevue.
This ensemble show centers on a cast of majority PoC, queer characters, which is still the exception on German TV. It even features a middle-aged, asexual trans woman who gets to have a romance arc!
While many of the actors are newcomers, the cast also includes the iconic Florence Kasumba, known for playing Ayo in Black Panther and other MCU installments.
Since the TV station, ZDF Neo, hardly promoted this show at all, even in Germany most people have probably never heard of it, let alone watched it. Since I like to do a subtitling side project now and then next to my day job, I decided to create English subtitles, which you can find here along with instructions on how to access the episodes.
Please reblog and spread the word so this show gets some much-deserved love! If you're looking for queer media with a found family trope, breathtaking runway performances and, of course, lots of drama, check out House of Bellevue!
PS: If you're a German speaker seeing this, please use the ZDF Mediathek to stream the show to show support for diverse media!
Hate towards any characters will NOT be tolerated!
I did not write the cause of fake-out death messages, they were submitted! Feel like you could say more about it? Add your own propaganda in the reblogs!
Fake-out death - spoiler warning

What was the fake-out death?:
There's been like fifty, which one?
Why did the fake-out death suck so much?:
I can no longer survive in any other ecological niche

SPOILERS FOR STRANGER THINGS FINALE
Literally got sucked into a wormhole BY CHOICE so she didn't have to keep running her whole life from people who want to experiment on her but then they reveal that MAYBE actually what happened is her sister, who can create illusions, just made it LOOK like she got swept away in the wormhole (mind you, before she, Kali, the sister, died which would mean having her own fakeout death to HELP WITH EL'S FAKE OUT DEATH EXCEPT KALI ACTUALLY DID DIE JUST NOT RIGHT WHEN SHE THOUGHT WE DID) and El escaped and went into hiding
Why did the fake-out death suck so much?:
Note that I said MAYBE. The thing is, we don't actually know if it was a fake out death. The whole telling of her fake out death is told as speculation by Mike to his friends 18 months after the event when he finally put some context clues together, but they end the whole thing by saying they don't actually know if it's true that it happened to her or if she did really die that day, and the show shows El going off to some far away small town where she won't be hunted but it's left extremely vague whether that actually happened or if it's just visuals for Mike's storytelling.
SO THEY FAKED OUT THE FAKE OUT DEATH! THEY LEFT IT AMBIGUOUS! WE DON'T KNOW IF SHE DIED OR NOT! WHICH IS ARGUABLY WORSE THAN JUST "yeah she died" OR JUST CONFIRMING THAT SHE DID IN FACT ESCAPE AND ABANDON HER FRIENDS TO SAVE HERSELF (AND FUTURE KIDS)

What was the fake-out death?:
At the end of the last episode, a bomb exploded and one of the last shots was him being unresponsive in someone else's lap. And then the outro happened. This show gets one episode evers year.
Why did the fake-out death suck so much?:
As I said, the show gets one episode per year and they ended the episode on that. The next episode still isn't out, but presumably he's not dead since he appears on promo photos for the next episode and his actor posted on Instagram about him being alive (three months after the episode aired), but technically there still isn't any actual confirmation for the viewers. We had to wait a whole year.
