In the end, a cyborg stamped on Commissioner Odenthal. The missing paraplegic young man, whose empty wheelchair had previously been found on the Rhine, had been converted into a man-machine. The movements, however, seemed reasonably crude and helpless. The "crime scene" final on Sunday reminded a bit of a science fiction B-movie from the 90s, but excused in his uninhibited playfulness for some tiring ethics monologue.
In our review, we wrote: "Sometimes you do not know where this thriller really wants to go, first it fascinates the possibilities of neuroscience, then the movie becomes a kind of human dusk." We gave 5 out of 10 points. How did you like the cyborg thriller?
Ulrike Folkerts is already 30 years old as Commissioner Lena Odenthal, she is the longest-serving TV investigator at the "crime scene". At the end of the year, she celebrates her anniversary with a special episode, when "The Palatinate from Above" will be shown - which follows on from a legendary 1991 Odenthal "crime scene".
The then episode "Death in the shredder" with Ben Becker as a patrolman had caused a scandal at the first broadcast: Many Palatine saw themselves vilified, because the inhabitants of the fictional village tender were depicted as a backwoods mob. Now there is a reunion with the Palatine hillbillys and Beckers village Sheriff.
