Why is this “crime scene” worthwhile?

The otherwise lazy assistant Norbert Jütte (Roland Riebeling) has a special role this time and he solves the case almost on his own. When he saw the photos of the dead Susanne Elvan, he remembers similar, unsolved cases. Suddenly there is talk of a serial killer. Jütte begins to investigate on his own and finds the crucial clue. In doing so, however, he puts his life in danger.

What bothers?

That the case takes place on two different time levels could have been worked out even more clearly. So there are only small nuances and details that give a hint. The film leads the audience on the wrong track for a long time.

The commissioners?

Ballauf and Schenk are like an old couple who have been investigating together since 1997. Sometimes you need a breath of fresh air in the relationship, if only with a new car. Schenk arrives in a sleek, red Ferrari. “I couldn’t resist, but it’s only for a short time,” he explains to his puzzled colleague. Ballauf, on the other hand, revives his flirtation with the psychologist Lydia Rosenberg (Juliane Köhler).

Turn on or off?

Last week the triall ran, next Sunday there will be general elections: The Cologne case is the only “crime scene” this month – you shouldn’t miss it.
