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?
