reception

David Denk wrote in the Süddeutsche Zeitung : “You can understand why [Jeltsch and Polle] are so proud of Unter Gaunern : The fun everyone involved had at work carries over to the audience. Jeltschs dialogues are funny without effort witzisch to be. The plot and characters are over the top without losing their truthfulness. They are not jokes, they are people - who by no means always cut a good figure. "

Arno Frank wrote on Spiegel Online : "On the classic slot for family series, the ARD dares with" Unter Gaunern "- tada - a family series. However, it is as amiable as the multi-generation clan of crooks it is about."

Ulla Haselmann wrote in the Stuttgarter Zeitung : "Public television is also good for surprises. Because the series written by the Grimme Prize winner Christian Jeltsch has what other productions have little or nothing: dramatic daring, lively, political Incorrect, but also realistic dialogues, jokes and a lot of drive as well as a multi-layered plot. In addition, "Unter Gaunern" manages the trick, which is rare on German television, of harmonizing different genres such as comedy, crime and family series.

Hendrik Werner rated Unter Gaunern in the Weser Kurier as ambitious and over the top at the same time. “The new Radio Bremen early evening series“ Unter Gaunern ”(Unter Gaunern) has a lot of local color: You can see the pretty Humbold [t] straße, trams flutter comfortably through the picture. It's picturesque, but not enough for a successful crime fair - the script relies too much on puns and silliness. The quota of the opening sequence was also rather moderate: only 1.76 million viewers (market share: 6.8 percent) tuned in. "Werner concludes with the conclusion:" After all: the ensemble plays the clichéd Jokus revue well. "

On April 22, 2015, it was said in the Bremen Vier Morgenshow podcall that there had been an internal message that the series would not be continued for the time being.
