reception

Jens Schröder wrote on Meedia that the production quality would meet the standards of significantly larger broadcasters. He said that the series would endeavor to combine a psychological crime thriller with light Austrian humor with its characters, but overall it seemed "too good, too public law to be really innovative or new." .] "Crime fans, especially those with a penchant for beautiful pictures of the Alps, can take a look."

The first season achieved an average market share of 6 percent when it was first broadcast.
