action

The Hamburg psychiatrist Dr. Johannes Jessen runs into Inspector Ruiz when a female corpse is found within sight of the grave of Jessen's mother in the Ohlsdorf cemetery . Shortly thereafter, Ruiz appears at Jessen's because he is considered a luminary and Ruiz wants to ask him about the perpetrator profile. It turns out that Jessen knew the dead woman. Katharina Roth was his patient years ago, and after Jessen remembers, he can give the inspector some useful tips. The fact that Jessen currently has a patient who describes horrific images that are very similar to the current murder scenario, he conceals, because he feels bound by his medical confidentiality. When he changed his mind and spoke to Ruiz about the patient Robert Mohren, it was too late. The inspector finds clues that suddenly put Jessen himself at the center of the investigation. Katharina Roth allegedly had an appointment with the psychiatrist on the day she was murdered, at least this entry was in her diary. To make matters worse, Roth had complained at the time to the responsible clinic that Jessen had sexually molested her. Jessen was able to dispel the accusation, and Roth withdrew the accusation; but for Ruiz this incident is definitely a motive for murder.

The orderly life of the psychiatrist is getting out of hand, and when he makes the mistake of directly accusing Robert Mohren of killing Katharina Roth, the latter goes on the offensive. He kills another patient Jessen, with whom he actually had a relationship, so that Jessen is suspected and wanted by the police for this murder as well.

In order to prove his innocence, the psychiatrist researches his patient Robert Mohren's past and finds out that the latter blames him for the death of his father. At the time, Jessen had signed a report that was very unfavorable for Mohren's father and thus contributed to Mohren's father's suicide. Obviously Mohren now wants to destroy the psychiatrist's life. Although the police are looking for Jessen at full speed, he is always one step ahead of them. He manages to find Mohren's hiding place, but instead of being able to talk to him, Jessen is overwhelmed by Mohren. Mohren leaves no doubt that he does not want to kill the psychiatrist, but wants to see him suffer. He intends to take what he loves most. Jessen has to watch helplessly as Mohren disguises himself as a plumber. So he gains access to Jessen's house and overpowers Nora Jessen and her daughter. He ties and gags her and spills gasoline. In the meantime, Jessen manages to call Ruiz and convince him of Mohren's intention. Ruiz appears just in time and is able to prevent Mohren from setting the gasoline on fire with an aimed shot.

Reviews

Michael Hanfeld wrote at the FAZ : “When Hamburg looks gloomy on television, then it is right. Dark, almost black clouds over the city, over the houses, over the children's room, over the park, over the cemetery and - over the corpse buried right next door on the bank. "Otherwise, the viewer can expect a" routine build-up of tension, a thoroughly attractive and expandable one Duel between Jessen and the commissioner, cruel details of cruel deeds by cruel perpetrators (the Scandinavian crime thriller sends its regards). "

“ Besides the track - adrenaline is a more than successful start to the series. Cleanly staged. Well played. The mood is gloomy and ominous. This is how a thriller has to come across. "

- Stern.de

“'Adrenalin' is more exciting than the usual TV crime fiction, the film has atmosphere, a certain will to style (you rarely see Hamburg images like this), dialogue wit and with Noethen a leading actor who can portray complexity, illness and loss of control in his character in a nuanced manner. "

- TV movie

“With 'Adrenalin', the duo have made a TV crime debut that is worth seeing in every respect; The image design alone with its flowing journeys and flights is a pleasure, especially since the agility of the photos is not a pretentious end in itself. "

- Frankfurter Rundschau

“Adrenaline definitely makes you want more. You want to know how the exciting constellation Jessen and Ruiz will continue. "
