Reviews

Rainer Tittelbach is of the opinion that the film is a "sensitive [s], unconventional [s] social drama [...] [which is unparalleled] in the current TV crime scene."

“The opening sequence of the new crime series with Ulrich Noethen in the role of the lonely but not unsympathetic specialist for missing people [...] Ulrich Noethen embodies his protagonist believably, albeit sometimes a little stiffly. On the other hand, the plot by Claus Cornelius Fischer ( The Woman in a Red Dress , Blueprint ) is not always credible, and it also shows some inconsistencies, ” prisma said .
