In addition to the track, there is a German crime film series with Ulrich Noethen and Juergen Maurer in the lead roles, which has been broadcast in the ZDF series “TV film of the week” since 2015. The literary template comes from Michael Robotham .
action
The Hamburg commissioner Vincent Ruiz repeatedly meets with the psychiatrist Dr. Johannes Jessen together. At first this happened by chance, later they both learn to appreciate each other and Jessen's ability to look deep into the soul of people helps the inspector to solve criminal cases. Ruiz, on the other hand, is not only targeted by an offender himself and can be saved with the help of the psychiatrist, the doctor is also affected by reenactments and needs help.
characters
Psychiatrist Dr. Johannes "Joe" Jessen ( Ulrich Noethen )
The son of a surgeon, against the will of his father, did not devote himself to the “manual” medical profession of the surgeon, but instead took the psychiatric direction. He seems a bit arrogant and suffers from the first symptoms of Parkinson's . He initially kept this a secret and not even his wife Nora, who travels a lot as an interpreter, nor his daughter Charlotte knew about it. Jessen scenes of jealousy occur due to Nora's frequent absence. A miscarriage ( in episode 3 ) is followed by a marital crisis in episode 4 . They live separately in episode 5 , but have regular contact and continue to be very close.
Commissioner Vincent Ruiz ( Juergen Maurer )
Ruiz's marriage failed and since his wife left him with their little daughter, he has been left alone and has become a "lonely wolf". Now that his daughter has grown up, he tries to improve his relationship with her. At first he is very hostile to Jessen, but later approaches him at a professional distance and values his expertise.
background
There is a literary role model for the Hamburg psychiatrist Jessen by the name of Joseph O'Loughlin, which comes from the pen of the Australian crime writer Michael Robotham . While O'Loughlin lives in London, the ZDF has moved the location to Hamburg, but retained all the specifications of the character and the stories. These are characterized by: "Routine tension build-up, a thoroughly attractive and expandable duel between Jessen and the inspector, cruel details of cruel deeds by cruel perpetrators (the Scandinavian crime thriller sends its regards)."
criticism
“The interaction with Juergen Maurer remains a very exciting combination. If there was anything to wish for, it would be even more interaction between these two opposing characters. There is still greater potential for this series. "
“A series with the focus on a psychiatrist lives from its psychological component, which comes into play in the duel between Fritz Karls Gregor Engels and Jessen. The charming manipulator and the exceptional psychiatrist quickly recognize each other's weaknesses and keep pressing their buttons until the situation escalates. "
