Fifteen years after Oh Oh Cherso, the partygoers prove to be just as wasted as back then

The PowNed reality series De Uitsmijters highlights the work of Dutch bouncers in popular European nightlife hotspots for youth. The show documents how security staff manage incidents ranging from petty fights to medical emergencies caused by excessive alcohol consumption.

The new reality series De Uitsmijters, produced by PowNed, follows Dutch bouncers working in popular holiday destinations for youth like Chersonissos, Kos, and Mallorca. The show provides a raw look at the challenges these security professionals face while managing intoxicated partygoers in areas known for excessive alcohol consumption. Bouncers such as Damian and Farid are shown mediating fights, managing aggressive behavior, and assisting young people who have lost consciousness due to extreme drinking.

One scene captures a bouncer named Farid dealing with an unconscious teenager, demonstrating the chaotic environment of these nightlife hubs. Despite the party atmosphere, the security staff remains professional as they attempt to de-escalate conflicts and ensure the basic safety of the visitors. Although the program focuses on the nightly turmoil rather than the personal lives of the bouncers, it effectively portrays the reality of working in destinations where many holidaymakers behave as if they are completely unrestrained.
