Blond: Eva Blond! is a murder mystery - television series of the transmitter Sat.1 . Investigators in the total of six episodes in the series are the title character Eva Blond ( Corinna Harfouch ) and her Turkish colleague Alyans ( Erdal Yıldız ). The screenwriter is the two-time Grimme Prize winner Sascha Arango .

Series concept

The focus of the series, which is set in Berlin, is the intelligent, humorous Commissioner Eva Blond, who often relies on the intuition factor, and her traditional assistant Alyans (with a Turkish migration background). The constellation intelligent, sensitive and humorous woman vs. Turkish macho, as a basic component of the series, causes various conflicts both professionally and privately. In the context of this concept, however, personal development also takes place: If the various arguments and collegial teasing are still very much present in the first films in the series, they take a back seat in the last few in favor of friendly collegial respect.

A second unique selling point of the series is its location: metropolitan Berlin, which is shaped by the coexistence of different cultures. The basic plots of the total of six "Eva-Blond" films are based strongly on classic Whodunnit patterns from conventional television crime novels. Funny dialogues, a lot of situation comedy , an above-average “fast” staging method for crime TV series as well as partly quite realistic milieu descriptions brought the series a number of benevolent to good reviews as well as several award nominations. The good reviews also outweighed the audience. The Eva Blond films were able to distinguish themselves as ambitious TV productions with other well-known actors in supporting roles such as Herbert Knaup (as Eva Blond's partner), Ralph Herforth , Tayfun Bademsoy , Frank Giering , Sissi Perlinger , Meret Becker and Esther Schweins as well distinguished directors such as Hermine Huntgeburth and Achim von Borries .

Production and broadcasts

The producer of the "Eva Blond" films was the new German Filmgesellschaft mbH, which produces television films for both public and private TV stations. Sat.1 broadcast the total of six films in October 2002, May 2004 and summer 2006. In its financial report for 2002, the broadcaster reported an overall quite good market share for ambitious in-house productions such as "Eva Blond" (among 14 to 49 Year olds between 13.8 and 16.3%). However, the broadcast date of the last two films was no longer the usual slot at 9:15 p.m., but the comparatively late broadcasting time 10:15 p.m.

consequences

Blond: Eva Blond! - The murderer pronounces the verdict

Fan heater, bath water and a young woman as a murder victim: this almost classic constellation forms the starting point in the first case of the investigative duo Blond and Alyans. Their investigations lead them to a construction site whose staff must at least have observed the murder.
