Reviews
“The 'Tatort' episode 'Back into the Light' is a drama that has been increased into the unreal about self-optimization, self-conquest, self-loss. Stereotypes about ambitious, successful people are inflated - and made to burst. "
“This time, too, the crime scene with the inspectors Inga Lürsen and Nils Stedefreund would rather be a thriller and a character study than a crime thriller, but if it gets stuck, it is because it goes wrong. [...] A crime scene that wants a lot and messes up a lot more. "
“The resolution of the case comes up with crude, dutiful criticism of pharmaceutical companies. Instead of tension or a coherent plot, "Back into the Light" puts everything on the card named Maria. "
