German Genius

Kida Khodr Ramadan is at his wits' end: after his critically acclaimed role in 4 Blocks, he is not getting any offers that match his career vision; a tweet from Ricky Gervais changes everything.

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

With a green light imminent, Kida and Marius scramble to find a new director for the project after Tom's departure.

To save his family and the production from going bankrupt, Kida searches for funding and cost-cutting measures; Sami runs a strange new enterprise at school.

As Kida experiences the highs of the greenlight and the lows of still being in the doghouse, Marius goes to extreme lengths to get his hands on his mother's estate.

Kida faces the possibility of being "canceled"; as Marius begins a revealing side project, Kida decides to take control of the narrative.

After the production brings in a wealthy partner to right the ship, Kida finally gets to try his hand at directing where he finds that shooting the episode's intimacy may be too overwhelming.

As Kida grapples with his diminishing role on his own television series, he also worries about how to explain everything to Ricky.
