action
The famous pop singer Dana is to appear in Bremen with her band at a “live concert against the law”. In the run-up to the concert, the poster sticker Ahmed Aksu was critically injured. In the course of this, one of the neo-Nazis' spokesmen lays the wrong lead in order to oust his rival above him in the hierarchy. But during the investigation by Commissioner Inga Lürsen and her colleague Stedefreund in the neo-Nazi scene in Bremen, Dana's assistant Susanne Wolters is killed. Since she was wearing Dana's coat at the time of the crime, it could also be a mistake. The investigations in this direction, however, are repeatedly impaired by the protection of the constitution , which in turn wants to observe the local right-wing scene and a right-wing party that is emerging from it and feels disturbed by the investigation and the resulting police presence. Ultimately, the intelligence agents cooperate, but only unofficially, with the Bremen police and point the investigation in a different direction. At the same time, they present the police with the wrong lead, thus creating a clear path for further observation. The police, in turn, picks up the trace that has been laid and expands it into an indictment. While the neo-Nazis are regrouping largely undisturbed because one of their leaders was held responsible for the death of Ahmed Aksu to cheers and applause and was arrested, Inga Lürsen interrogates Dana again. It turns out that Susanne Wolters was more than an ordinary stalker. Rather, she had blackmailed the pop singer with her neo-Nazi past, which had previously been kept secret, until she was affected by Susanne Wolters. Since the “live concert against the right” should go smoothly on stage, Inga Lürsen allows Dana's appearance at their insistence, instead of arresting her in front of the predominantly left-wing concert audience.

Reviews
Frank Rauscher from teleschau - der mediendienst thinks that the crime scene fails as a “politically ambitious film that explores the 'right-wing scene'”, but works reasonably well as a “brisk pop thriller”. "Although: If Commissioner Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) didn't show up from time to time and look very strenuous, serious and extremely politically committed in the midst of the hipsters and skins, you'd almost forget that this is a 'crime scene' ...". Nevertheless, the plot is "quite overloaded, but exciting until the end". The suggestion “to want to set a fictional sign against the law” is of course okay. But if this is to be addressed, "then please with more consistency and depth than in this 'crime scene'".
Kathrin Buchner said in stern.de that so much music has never been in a crime scene . “Nevertheless, the crime thriller didn't quite hit the right note.” The “ARD attractiveness attack on the young audience with politically correct material” was honorable, but the pace of the story wasn't right. "No matter how many musicians can drum for the 'Tatort', it won't carry you away". But at least the final chord was successful.
The TV Spielfilm said: "The always committed author and director Thorsten Näter wanted to show how right-wing extremists inconspicuously slip into the middle of society, but only presents the old bald clichés."
