reception

Axel Schmitt from Serienjunkies.de wrote: “The inclined series viewer will not find it difficult to foresee the coming. A lively discussion will develop in the group about how to proceed. Those who are hungry for money and those hungry for power will vote to stay in the camp, those who are a little more sensitive to demolition. So there is little surprise on the horizon. ”Regarding the production of the series, he says that“ This series […] was produced with full certainty that it would never become a premium entertainment product. Rather, it is an inexpensive alternative for NBC to show original content even in the summer and not have to resort to constant repetitions. ”With regard to the characters, he claims that while they“ may be unimaginative [and] also modeled, ”they do "A lovable feature [...] can be found in (almost) everyone - even in Johnny". He also says that if “the viewer approaches the Siberia summer project with low expectations, he will hardly be disappointed. Unlike the events in Tunguska, however, the series will only remain an entertainment historical side note. "

The TV.com website listed Siberia at number 100 on their top 100 list for the 2013 television year.

The series received a Metascore of 63/100 on Metacritic based on 5 reviews.
