YMMV / Alarm für Cobra 11

• Awesome Music: The main theme.
• Cliché Storm: The series is extremely guilty of this, but its combination of Narm (which is often intentional), Strictly Formula plots and massive reliance on Rule of Cool make it so fun for the fans. The later seasons ham it up even further, leading to enormous Mood Whiplash swings.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff:
  • The series used to be very popular in Spain, constantly airing in back to back marathons with dubbed reruns of The Simpsons.
  • In Italy, the series has been a staple of the second national channel for years, with very frequent daily reruns at dinnertime and weekly primetime runs whenever a new season is dubbed.
  • It's also reran regularly on at least three to four Hungarian TV stations, and the country's leading commercial network always airs the latest episodes, with highly commendable ratings.
  • The same also goes for the Czech Republic as it was pretty popular.
  • On the other side of the globe, the show counts as one of the most popular foreign TV series in Japan.
  • Very popular in Iran, although the censors have pushed most of the viewers away from the state-run tv. These days, watching the show in the original German is the mark of a true intellectual (who still feels the need to watch this kind of show) or a pretentious show-off, or both.
• The Problem with Licensed Games: At least eight video games based on the series have been made, only three released outside Germany. Not that the other countries would have missed much, since their quality is generally poor (the voice acting managing to be So Bad, It's Good).
