reception
Spiegel Online asks the question of how far television can go to make quota, and makes fun of the idea of promoting a social debate about violent young people through such a program. However, RTL's focus on problem cases is not a new concept and there are parallels, for example, with teenagers out of control - the wild west as a last resort . It is also criticized that the actors brag about their crimes on television and were encouraged to do so by the camera team. Furthermore, the didactic concept is criticized, which can lead to false self-confidence. According to Spiegel Online, the problems of young people who are prepared to use violence and have no prospects are not created by such programs, but they are intensified.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung believes that German television viewers like to watch young people fail. She sees the crimes and language of the actors as terrifying. The behavior of the girls among themselves is sometimes compared to Germany's Next Top Model . Fernsehserien.de also makes a comparison with the television programs Big Brother and Der Frauenknast .
