Criticism
The mirror is called the concept of " mistaken exciting ": "" The Perfect Minute " is in any case a stroke of luck for Sat.1, because it gives the sender, who was not exactly known for its innovations in the past few years a whole new color scheme. With a presenter who knows exactly what she's doing. This time Sat.1 did everything right, and that was after so many flops in recent months also high time "
Hans Hoff, however, writes to the opening mission in the Sueddeutsche: " The [ audience ] will consume these games uncritically as possible and find exciting. Only this includes an exciting staging. However, the almost always fails. [ ... ] After a short distance to indifference is spreading with the candidate, the players and the presenter, the one just notes that they must plow hard for her comeback. "
Catherine Miklis of the world feels an " oversized children's birthday " recalls and subtitled their criticism with "Many tough sat.1 minutes by Ulla Kock am Brink ".
Gregor Elsbeck of Quotenmeter.de praises downright the game show and their second season. Moreover, in his opinion, " The perfect minute" the perfect game show.
