German Genius

After wrapping his acclaimed run on "4 Blocks," Kida Khodr Ramadan is at a loss when the roles he's offered don’t align with his career vision until a tweet from Ricky Gervais changes everything.

As Kida scrambles to fund his project's trailer, a highly unusual opportunity to recoup some of the production's costs falls into his lap.

Moments away from an official green light, Kida and Marius are left scrambling when their latest director announces his departure. Meanwhile, Kida is questioned by the police about his involvement with the Veseli family.

When his economizing at home backfires, Kida prays that his efforts to secure funding for the production and cut back on costs go smoother. At the same time, Sami runs a strange enterprise at school while hustling the barbershop.

Though news of German Genius receiving the official green light should be joyous, Kida finds himself even more out of his depth. As Marius goes to great lengths to snare his mother's fortune, Kida attempts to get out of the doghouse.

The show’s stunt double drama is the least of Kida’s problems when he suddenly faces the possibility of being "canceled." Later, as Marius begins a revealing side project, Kida decides to take control of the narrative.

After the production brings in a highly notable and wealthy partner to right the ship, Kida finally gets to try his hand at directing, but will shooting the episode’s intimacy be too overwhelming?

Now demoted to a glorified extra, Kida tries to save face on his own project, while contending with his diminished status in the television industry. Later, a poker game brings Kida face-to-face with his rival Sascha once again.
