Its sadly evident that the creativity of Michael Herbig and his crew has run out of steam. Its basically a slightly updated version of the previous "Bullyparade" but way less anarchic and feels more formulaic. Its obvious that Herbig wanted to be more of a director and less a comedian and this results in ultimately not as effective comedy. The absence of Christian Tramitz is noticeable, his antics are missed. The spark of creativity is sadly lacking, and reveals that Herbig is just a one-trick pony. The comedy feels like someone hit the breaks early in development. Edgy humor is absent and the episodes feel very sanitized as a result. Its no wonder this was cancelled after a few epidodes.
