action
Mehmet Özakın is investigating a murder case: a building contractor was run over several times and the body was sunk in the Bosporus . First of all, the commissioner suspects an archaeologist who wants to prevent the construction of a shopping center because he suspects an old temple complex there. The displaced residents have another motive. But the archaeologist should also be killed in the same way. However, when he escapes with serious injuries, he is taken to the hospital for safety. But there he is tracked down by the murderer and shot. Mehmet, who wanted to visit the archaeologist, tries to stop the murderer, but he escapes. During his investigation, the commissioner finds a newspaper clipping from ten years ago, but only the title and the date. He also finds a photo that shows the archaeologist and the building contractor with a third person: the eccentric pop star Tolga Turan.
Mehmet Özakın suspects that this should also be killed and seeks out the pop star. But the latter refuses to be protected. Instead, he goes into hiding with his manager. With the newspaper clipping, Mehmet finally finds out about the murderer: Tolga and his two colleagues ran over a young woman on a drunk ride after being released from the army ten years ago. For this killing with hit and run finally an innocent man was arrested and sentenced, who hanged himself during his imprisonment. His son, however, is none other than Tolga's manager. But he is not alone: his accomplice is the accident victim's sister, who was present during the video shoot and flirted violently with Mehmet's assistant Mustafa Tombul.
Mehmet finally locates Tolga Turan's hiding place and arrives just in time to save him from his two killers.

criticism
TV critic Rainer Tittelbach , who described the crime thriller as “ ready-made goods ”, had negative criticism . However, Tittelbach praised the cast, especially the guest roles, which would set themselves apart from other casts and thus make Istanbul as a place of action credible.
“The story of 'Blood Ties' is not very original, the plot is very stereotypical, and creating tension has never been the declared aim of 'Murder Commission Istanbul'. Telegenic Mediterranean fair-weather thriller, in which at least the cast is right. "
Hans Czerny from teleschau described the crime thriller as "comic-like" and the subplot, which tells of Özakin's wife hosting a trainee lawyer from the school program at his home, in a review for the Heilbronn voice as more entertaining than the main story.
The program magazine TV Spielfilm also described the film as mediocre and came to the following conclusion: “A simple, knitted case that does not delve into interesting topics” and “Superficial crime fiction in a nice setting”.
