The scenario:
Pogo and champagne in Zurich.
The new team led by Tessa Ott (Carol Schuler) and (Isabelle Grandjean (Anna Pieri Zuercher) is taking a burned corpse and a woman's skeleton back to the time of the so-called opera riots in 1980 when there were serious clashes between punks and the police Past of some honorable notables clearly.
The highlight:
Resistance and the establishment - that runs smoothly in this Zurich "crime scene".
Ringleaders of yore now sit in top positions, townspeople play punk.
But the corpse find hardened the old fronts again.
The picture:
The ashes are still smoldering.
In the end, old souvenir photos from the punk era are burned in the ashtray - but this "crime scene" shows how easily the city can be set on fire again.
The dialogue:
The head of the homicide department talks to the new profiler Ott about the left-wing radicals, against whom he had to take action in 1980 in the so-called opera riots:
Boss: "The excited of yesterday are the established ones of today."
Ott: "You fought for your ideals."
Boss: "Well, ideals. I mean, it wasn't so ideal for us. Week after week we turned our heads. They said 'cobblestones on bull pigs'."
The song:
"Züri brännt" from TNT.
Only 42 seconds short, but a powerful beacon.
The rabid punk song was written back in 1978 - two years later it became the soundtrack of the youth riots.
Because you can barely understand the refrain, the following is written again: "Züri brännt / die alti Wixerstadt / Züri brännt / before Langwiil ab".
The review:
8 out of 10 points.
No reason to torch the TV: This social crime from the "Wixerstadt" Zurich does not spread boredom.
Strong debut for the new team.
