Deutscher (2020) User Reviews

Typical national German TV quality

[tablemountain1912 · 5/10 · 10 May 2020]

German households have to pay a quarterly TV tax and in return get productions seemingly made for the 70+ generation. Deutscher sounded like it could actually be different: a vision of Germany under a right party rule. What we get is a teenage melodrama with a hip German soundtrack, ridiculous dialogue and every character fulfilling a stereotype. Utter rubbish. Is there no writing talent left in Germany or is it the management of the big national TV firms that are too old or scared to invest in quality productions?

Trash full of clichés

Unsurprisingly, the audience is taught like a child again. If you expect quality, you get served bizarre trash.

Die "Kanacken" dies, die "Kanacken" das - Subtilität erster Klasse

[DIEU_ET_MAITRE · 1/10 · 14 June 2020]

Who writes this stuff? The cartoonish dialogue and the continuous use of absolutely un-cinematic songs will make anyone watching cringe - da kräuseln sich die Fußnägel!

Great psychological study on things going bad

[MauriceKA · 10/10 · 2 October 2020]

Compressed story about what would go wrong if the Germans vote right again. The little microcosmos of two families living door to door gets shook up. Excellent play by the actors. Great script. Very good set design showing a neighborhood that couldn't be more German. Mind blowing sound track. A little gem. The only thing I would criticize is that everything revolves around white Germans. They are portrayed much deeper than the non-white Germans.
