action

The internist Dr. Gisela Mohnheim is found dead early in the morning in the emergency room of the hospital. She is partially undressed, her head is in a plastic bag. One is considering suicide, but the door to the room was locked from the outside. The Dortmund commissioners Faber, Bönisch, Dalay and Pawlak encounter overworked doctors and nurses who are on constant duty for acute emergencies. The chief physician of the chronically understaffed department rules out that any of the hospital staff could have anything to do with the death of the colleague. However, one patient remembers overhearing the internist's argument with a man and having a hug. Shortly thereafter, this witness was only barely rescued from the fatal consequences of a medical malpractice. Did someone want to get rid of them? The investigators initially suspect a nurse. However, this takes his own life. It turns out that he was miserably in love with the doctor. This, however, was in a relationship with the chief doctor. The nurse researched the psychiatrist's background and found that his medical exams were fake. The murder victim may also have been informed. However, with his trauma, Commissioner Faber had confidence in the wrong doctor and is visiting him privately. In conversation he confessed to having hidden his lie by murder. But he also wants to kill Faber. He is rescued by his colleagues, but shortly afterwards races into the car of the perpetrator on the run, who is arrested. The injured Faber is taken to the emergency room.

Reviews

In Spiegel online , the film received a rating of eight out of ten possible points. Author Christian Buß praised the connection between the criminal case and Faber's personal trauma: "If everyone around you is sick, your own state of illness can only be an investigative advantage."

The film service rated the film with three out of five possible stars and rated it as a crime thriller that set striking accents as a psychodrama. The extensive concentration on the emergency room microcosm is ambitious, but does not gain any societal explosiveness due to the simplified presentation.

The journalist Claudia Schwartz summarized the film in the NZZ as “a psychologically strong piece” and praised: “You can't get more surprise and more tension until the next episode, chapeau!” The human drama in the film is “quite impressive”.

Audience ratings

The first broadcast of Inferno on April 14, 2019 was seen by 8.63 million viewers in Germany and achieved a market share of 24.6% for Das Erste .
