Ulrike Folkerts as Lena Odenthal: the Nazi in sight

It wasn't the right wing who murdered the left-wing concert promoter.
In the "Tatort" in Ludwigshafen, a young man who organized "Rock gegen Rechts" concerts was found shot dead on the Rhine.
He had long been the target of a neo-Nazi group called "Revenge 88".
But as it turned out after some investigative hiccups, the act was due to a discarded love affair.
A woman in love is more dangerous than the fascist mob?
Nothing against a few surprising twists - but the fact that the Nazi crime thriller ends as a fatally derailed love drama depoliticizes the subject considerably.
In our review we wrote: »The fact that the 'crime scene' runs shortly after the verdict in the Lübcke case and a week before the commemoration day of the racist attack in Hanau is the most unfortunate thing about the many unfortunate aspects of this crime story - both events show us impressively Eyes, how virulent and murderous the long-downplayed right-wing violence is.
In the ›Tatort‹, however, Fascho boys and Nazi brides only appear as stray sheep. "
We gave 2 out of 10 points.
What do you think of the case?
The next »crime scene« from Ludwigshafen has already been shot.
It was created shortly after the completion of the Nazi episode in late summer under strict Corona hygiene requirements.
Martin Eigler, who shot the Stuttgart neo-noir thriller “The man who lies” in 2018, a very smart “crime scene” for SWR, directed and wrote the script.
Lana Cooper can be seen in a leading role, who has just worked on the »Tatort« about Swabian eco-philistines in building houses.
In the new episode, Odenthal and Stern have to dig deep into the perpetrator's sick psyche in order to convict him.
Title: »The Bad King«.
Broadcasting should still be in the first half of the year.
