If Dudes/Alphamännchen were a thesis, its title could have been "Toxic Masculinity." But the original title is also pretty accurate. Alphamännchen means Alpha Male, and Dudes… well, the series is about four guys who suffer from that common problem called male toxicity. These four characters, who are also best friends, are Ulf (Tom Beck), Erik (David Rott), Cem (Serkan Kaya), and Andi (Moritz Führmann). Each of them, in their own way, is toxic. Ulf is the typical sexist who can't stand being around or working for successful women, including his wife, Elif (Mona Pirzad).  Erik is a "modern man" on the outside, pretending to be okay with Kim's (Marleen Lohse) open relationship, but inside, he's still insecure, jealous, and weak. Andi's problems are more physical (his hormones are low, which means he doesn't get aroused by kissing his wife), but he also shows little interest in talking about his problems or having a serious conversation with his wife...
