Moving Men was a German sitcom based on Ralf Koenig's comic and the subsequent film The Moving Man by Sönke Wortmann . König himself was neither involved in the project in terms of content nor financially and clearly distances himself from the resulting sitcom, which he finds “terribly bad” and anti-gay . The series was nominated for the German Television Award for best sitcom in 2003 and 2004 .

content

Moving Men tells the story of a friendship between two very different individuals, Norbert and Axel. Similar to love, which nobody knows where it will fall, so is their friendship. If only it weren't for a little problem: Norbert is gay, Axel is straight. Norbert's secret crushes for Axel and his obvious advances make life in the shared apartment, which both live in, both varied and turbulent. Together with their equally diverse circle of friends, Norbert and Axel repeatedly find themselves in hair-raising and crazy situations.
