Reviews

“With all the playful elegance, there is always really bad fear cinema in the thrillers by Yesilkaya and Marka. So they turn the new Munich 'Tatort' into a serial killer shocker and from there again into a slasher movie. A stylistic roller coaster ride that leaves the investigators, who were already badly affected in the last episode, pale and drained. At some point Leitmayr shoveled peanuts in a karaoke bar and rocked his head as if he was suffering from hospitalism , while a gruesome version of Metallica 's ' Nothing Else Matters ' howls over the vocal system. A hideous, a beautiful 'crime scene'. "

"No flat talk, beautiful pictures, a clearly structured and composed crime scene in which the threads of the plot are neatly sewn together."

The film service ruled: “Captivating (TV series) crime thriller [...]. Far from any common dramaturgy, it condenses into an intensive reflection on the relativity of truth. "
