Gute Freunde - Der Aufstieg des FC Bayern - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Gerd Müller
Müller is seventeen years old and a welder when his father dies much too early. From then on, it is up to him to support the family financially. A great burden. But then an opportunity arises that opens up a new perspective for him: The highly talented amateur footballer receives an offer to play for the ambitious regional league club FC Bayern and earn an additional income there.
Sepp Maier
Maier's father works in psychiatry. Money is always tight. But little Sepp has great joy for life, coupled with a sense of humor that will help him navigate many things in life more easily than, for example, Müller. And he has a father who does everything for him; who even puts his own job at risk and ultimately loses it to fulfill Sepp's wish. From then on, the family struggles for four years to make ends meet.
Franz Beckenbauer
Beckenbauer has no problems with fame whatsoever. He appears – and his manager Schwan quickly recognizes this – to be the ideal figure with marketable star potential. With him, finally, big money can be earned. He is a business model. Because Beckenbauer has an incomparable charisma. Nothing he does looks like work; everything is filled with lightness and elegance. Franz, he's got it – always with the attractive and tabloid-friendly wife Brigitte by his side.
Paul Breitner
Breitner represents the opposite of the elegant Beckenbauer. He is the only son of a civil servant. From day one, he aims to shake up the Beckenbauer monument; he becomes the challenger, the rebel. Breitner is accustomed to challenges, and he takes them on no matter what. A fighter, the kind the team hadn't seen before. He grew up under a strict father, has back problems, and poor eyesight, but he doesn't care. He'll just have to train harder than the others.
Uli Hoeneß
Uli Hoeneß continues to shake the romantic original idea of the 'eleven friends who stand by each other and go through thick and thin together.' Hoeneß thinks big, even bigger than Manager Schwan. The 'fastest striker in Europe' senses that there is a business hidden in football, one that has not yet fully tapped its potential. As the son of a butcher, he learned early on what it means to generate an optimal profit margin. This knowledge now serves him well as a football professional: He organizes autograph sessions, home stories, and advertising contracts, not only for himself but also for his teammates, especially Paul Breitner. This doesn't sit well with everyone, especially Franz Beckenbauer, who is bothered by his teammate's entrepreneurial ambition.
WM 1974
Under the leadership of national coach Helmut Schön, the five Super-Bayern players head to the World Cup in their own country. They are complemented by top players such as Schwarzenbeck, Vogts, Netzer, Overath, and many more. However, the favorite for the tournament is not West Germany, but the Netherlands with their "total football" and their superstar Johan Cruyff. Additionally, the atmosphere within the German team is far from good: the Bayern players are not on good terms with each other, and it has been discovered that Italians and Dutch players receive much higher bonuses than what the German Football Association (DFB) is willing to pay.

The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
Sheriff Country
Sheriff Country focuses on straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire's division chief Sharon Leone, who investigates criminal activity as she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater while contending with her ex-con father, Wes, who is an off-the-grid marijuana grower, and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter.

With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be.
As Beth and Rip fight to build a future together - far from the ghosts of Yellowstone - they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire. In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.
