production
The shooting locations were Wuppertal , Cologne and the surrounding area. The director is Marc Schießer and the author and inventor of the series is Marcel Becker-Neu, who also plays a leading role (Dustin) and acts as a cameraman, media action artist and musician. The producers are Marc Schießer, Marcel Becker-Neu and Christina Ann Zalamea, who also publishes videos on YouTube under her pseudonym and YouTube channel Hello Chrissy. The production company Outside The Club has published extensive material on wishlist on its website.
The team is largely the same age as the target group. Becker-Neu justifies the decision to use Wuppertal as a filming location with the fact that costs will be saved, the majority of the team lives there and that the city is not yet as cinematically consumed as e.g. B. Berlin is. Despite marketing, they had not received a film permit in the new wagons of the suspension railway ; For this reason they did not ask about the use of the old wagons from the start. Filming locations in Wuppertal are z. B. Cinemaxx, the BOB-Kulturwerk in Wichlinghausen , the roof of the City-Arkaden , the Unterbarmen train station and the Oetelshofen quarry .
Most of the makers of the core team got to know filming during the media project in Wuppertal . It was shot for a total of 44 days. Becker emphasizes that in order to achieve authenticity and credibility it was important to put political correctness into the background. It was shot in 4K to create a special look, says Becker-Neu.

reception
Spiegel Online compares the devil's pact in the series, which is triggered by the app, with works such as Faust , Dorian Gray or Timm Thaler and praises the futuristic, urban representation of the Wuppertal suspension railway ; but also criticizes the "all-encompassing youthfulness" that arises from the youth language used , WhatsApp voice messages and Snapchat snippets as a dramaturgical messenger report, YouTubers as actors, as well as humorous allusions to scenes and disturbs the older audience or is not understood by them.
The taz compares the constellation of the five friends with US sitcoms like Friends or How I Met Your Mother than z. B. works by Enid Blyton and praises the fact that public service has reached the young target group and thus counteracts the negative reputation of neglecting young audiences.
Die Welt writes that the series criticizes the use of new media and the media behavior of young people.
In addition to these good approaches, the industry portal DWDL expresses strong criticism of the script, which too often loses the thread, be it in trivialities or in dialogues that are held far too close to the "generation of foreign shame", so that one can hardly hear about the story can really be tied up.
