“Embarrassing, lacking in authenticity, superficial”: This is how critics describe the reality documentary about Germany's most famous twin brothers. The truth behind the criticism is what the current episode of “Ditt und Datt und Dittrich” is about.
Rejected love, prizes that disappear into storage rooms instead of being displayed in showcases, two twin brothers who caused a state of emergency among fans in Germany for years with their band Tokio Hotel: The reality documentary “Kaulitz and Kaulitz”, which provides an intimate insight into the lives of Bill and Tom Kaulitz, has been a failure with most critics. While Quotenmeter.de describes the Netflix show as a “disaster” and “lacking in substance”, Verena and Axel can see a lot of good in the reality format.
In the current podcast episode of “Ditt und Datt und Dittrich” the two talk about Bill's search for the right one, a great brotherly love that sometimes seems as if the two are about to go for each other's throats, and about why they find the Kaulitz twins so charming, even though the soap, according to critics, “just bobs along in its superficiality”.
