'Die Discounter' is a German TV show centered around daily life of being a no-frills store employee.
While the approach is somewhat new for the European audience it is nothing to be hyper aware of. Mainly, due to the fact that 'Superstore' has had successfully employed this workplace enviroment almost a half a decade earlier and with less of a slapstick approach.
Since 'Die Discounter' does not want to take risks it cross-referenced its predictable cast of characters with ideas from 'The Office' and adds a fair amount of toilet humor to it. So novelty is not really a strong suit of the show.
Many elements are just so blatently ripped of off international shows such as 'Superstore', 'The Office' and 'Two Broke Girls' that one cannot get into the MO of not comparing the wooden acting and bleak scenery of a reletivly young and unknown show to that of said international entertainment works.
So 5 stars.
