Yeah, I know, this is a lot, but I wanted to get all the details I can remember for now before I forget again. Feel free to only skim through. I don't really expect to get a response, but I'm hopeful. If theres any questions of clarification, or anything else I remember, I'll put it in comments.
I believe it was a german show, ir atleast it was centered around a german crime family? Anyway, the boss was dying, and in order to finalize a deal and approve the deal and who he wanted to give the title of boss to, he had to sign a paper. But he was either not wanting to or too ill/dying to do so (probably both). There isn't a believed heir other than rumors of one of the lowly goons being the heir. Which eventually turns out to be true. Somehow the heir is kidnapped or finds out or something and is on the run from the crime family. The drime family needs to either convince him to sign over power or sign the deal, or lure him to kill him. They are trying to hurry so they can do this deal to get out of debt with a Russian crime family. The heir is on the run with this driver who I guess also worked for crime family. Also the most memorable character for me is the guy who wants to be boss, his son who is a pathetic pimp buffoon who is bleach blonde and owns a stripper lounge bar place. And eventually his dad wants him to prove himself and sends him to get the heir which he keeps messing up and failing.
Theres a few scenes I specifically remember too. One is when the heir goes to hide at a freinds rural house, where the blonde son and some goons find and try to get the heir, there is a big fight there the heir escapes. Another scene where the driver shows up to the blonde sons stripper lounge bar in only a white towel, and he tries to bluff saying he has the real (ring? I don't remember what they had to steal or why, i just remember some item of importance probably dealing the with deal with the Russians) and instead getting them to show the real thing? And swapping it? And also drags blonde son to the back office and makes him open a safe? And then leaves him tied to a table which he tries to cut himself out of with a phallic shaped knife lol. Also the driver gets the cops to distract the wannabe boss while he gets away in his car. Another scene is when the heir and driver are in the car with some guy the wannabe boss sent to negotiate and convince/lure the heir home to kill him I guess, and the driver is suspicious and assumes of the other guys plan to lure the heir, so he pulls over and shoots the guy. Which upsets the heir for a moment.
