action

Private detective Georg Wilsberg can hardly believe it, because his best friend Ekki actually wants to get married. After countless girlfriends, he finally thinks that he has found the right one in Kerstin Buckebrede and asks Wilsberg to be his best man. Pastor Albers, who is supposed to trust Ekki and Kerstin, instructs Wilsberg to free him from a stalker who harassed him personally and with love letters. As soon as Wilsberg began to deal with the case and spoke to Rosemarie Dettmer, the pastor was found dead, which made the stalker suspect. Inspector Anna Springer and her colleague Overbeck take Rosemarie Dettmer into custody and find out that she is already on record in Bielefeld and molested a pastor there years ago.

Wilsberg is now following a lead to the sex therapist Dr. Sabine Morgenstern, whose business card he found in Alber's apartment. At first he cannot find out anything about the reason the pastor had to visit Frau Morgenstern, since she invokes her duty of confidentiality. Nevertheless, Wilsberg finds out that Albers has robbed the therapist of her inheritance. Her mother, a devout Catholic, was convinced by Pastor Albers to donate her money for the construction of a Christian hospice , so that only the compulsory portion remained for her daughter after her death. However, she denies trying to kill the pastor as a result.

For Wilsberg, Ekki's future father-in-law is now the focus of his investigations. His construction company has great financial problems and the survival of Buckebrede depends on a single job: the construction of the hospice. However, this major order had not yet been completely awarded to him and Pastor Albers, who had the power to make decisions, might want to change his mind. To clear this up, Wilsberg penetrates the Buckebredes' villa with Ekki's help. In the PC they only find e-mails that indicate that the noble future father- in-law has an intimate relationship with the sex therapist. In the safe you will find some documents and a USB stick that Wilsberg takes. Their action is meanwhile disturbed by Ekki's ex-girlfriend Silke, who has molested both Ekki and Kerstin lately because she wants to prevent their wedding at all costs. Now she has also got onto the grounds of the villa and is about to devastate the garden. Since the Buckebredes come back early, the whole thing is exposed and Wilsberg and Ekki are arrested by the police. Ekki's wedding was finally over, which has been indicated for a few days, as the Buckebredes were massively pushing their way into the lives of the young people and wanted to organize the wedding with all the pomp, renting them an expensive apartment and Kerstin's father showing very clearly that he was from Ekki would think nothing as a minor tax officer.

After Wilsberg takes a closer look at the USB stick, he finds delicate photos of Dean Braun on it. When he asks the man about it, he admits that he had been blackmailed by Gloria Buckebrede so that he should influence the award of the contract in the interests of her company. Pastor Albers found out and was considering choosing another company. So it turns out that Kerstin's mother poisoned the pastor.

criticism

Oliver Stöwing in the WAZ: “The author duo Arne Nolting and Jan Martin Scharf, who is currently being celebrated for the Vox series 'Club der rote Bänder', can be seen how happy they were with their contrasting characters. The dialogue duels are witty and sometimes even melancholy wisdom. The ensemble does its job well, but with a good mood. Above all, Korittke shines as a battered antihero Ekki, who tries to maintain his composure in a hostile environment. "

Kai-Oliver Derks from Mediendienst Teleschau shares this opinion: “Director Marc Rensing skilfully guides the viewer through the twists and turns of this case, at the end of which - that is good 'Wilsberg' tradition - everything is as before. In the middle he packs a couple of highly amusing scenes that loyal fans of the series should be able to watch with great pleasure. First and foremost: Ekki Talkötter's bachelorette party, which is organized by Inspector Overbeck 'awesome': 'Uschi has to do the lap dance.' "

DPA: "Inimitably bizarre Wilsberg moments bring momentum to the murderer search: There is the scene in which the detective, with his dry manner, tries in vain to sneak into the therapist as a sex-addicted patient." - "It's also fun to see how Wilsberg's bourgeois adversary in the police, the officer Overbeck (Roland Jankowsky), is completely absorbed in the task of organizing an unforgettable bachelorette party for Ekki. " the dry and humorous dialogues provide entertaining crime entertainment. "

The TV Spielfilm editorial team gave the crime thriller a “thumbs up” and said: “This' Wilsberg 'episode is not reinventing the wheel, but it is reasonably exciting, sometimes engaging and always entertaining, even if' throwing up after the bachelorette party 'smells like philistine humor. "

Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv said, disappointed: “The last 'Wilsberg' thrillers in 2015/16 were all worth seeing, some of them even outstanding within the series. The decline in quality of the episode “In Treu und Glaub” is all the more blatant: The story about Ekki's planned wedding seems half-hearted, the staging lacks speed, density, inner tension and affection for the characters. Obviously the script was supposed to emphasize the comedic elements again, but the calculation doesn't work out: Marc Rensing's film is neither funny nor captivating. "
