«Promise not quite fulfilled,» was the verdict of the SF Viewers« Council on the summer series »Pfahlbauer von Pfyn.« The Viewers» Council, however, was particularly impressed by the SF summer series «Criminal Cases That Shook Switzerland,» and “Zug um Zug” also received high marks.
"Promises not quite kept" was the verdict of the SF Audience Council for the summer series "Pfyn Pile Dwellers". On the other hand, the audience council was particularly pleased with the SF summer series "Criminal Cases that Moved Switzerland", and "Zug um Zug" also received good marks, with only the team of stone age experts on the pile dwellers program being able to completely convince the audience council. Otherwise, there was no consensus: while some missed the entertainment, others felt that the program would have benefited from more scientific information. In the press release, the Council came to the following conclusion: the difficult approach of turning exciting science into an experience for viewers is probably very difficult to implement.
In contrast, the summer series "Criminal cases that moved Switzerland" was rated very highly. Here, the difficult balancing act of presenting the human and tragic backgrounds of the perpetrators was managed well. The mix of archive material, current interviews and research was well received by the Council; the only criticism was the website, which offered no added value. Fernweh: Zug um Zug" was also rated as good for the most part. The Audience Council found the series entertaining and amusing, but some representatives would have liked more information on the country and its people. The structure of the show was also somewhat confusing, but presenter Mona Vetsch was convincing throughout.
