Overview
- The two-part WDR/ARD drama opened Wednesday with a 12.9% market share, leading the primetime slot despite a relatively modest reach.
- Viewership skewed older, with a 6.1% share among 14–49-year-olds, and ARD has not reported Mediathek streaming figures.
- The series centers on psychotherapist Dina Schwarz, who is assigned to support roughly 4,000 employees at a fictional Essen clinic.
- Shot inside functioning hospitals, the production focuses on overwork, burnout and mental-health pressures among medical staff.
- Critical reactions diverged, with outlets such as Stern and Tagesspiegel praising its impact while FAZ criticized it as inauthentic; episode two airs on 1 October after both films went online-first on 17 September.
