criticism

“The RTL series“ Doc meets Dorf ”, which is being traded as the“ Doctor's Diary ”successor, may be thought out nicely, the yellow of the egg is this village chaos dramedy about a sunny country doctor with a sweet tooth gap (Inez Bjørg David has more than just that) not exactly. At least two episodes are not enough to succumb to the (where) possible charm of this series. The precocious, completely unironic first-person comments are annoying & what the plot fails to do, the pop songs have to do: create emotion and empathy. "

“Doc meets Dorf was a small ray of hope in the RTL prime-time program. Even if the series around Dr. Fritzi Frühling [...] perhaps did not come close to highlights like Doctor's Diary, it was a high quality format that definitely had its fan base and was also able to achieve solid ratings. "
