Jörg Hartmann as Commissioner Faber: There is a method to madness

In the summertime, the first only shows "crime scene" repetitions.

The original version of this text was first broadcast in April 2019.

The scenario:

The health system is on the brink of collapse, the homicide squad is on a death frenzy.

After the internist in an emergency room was suffocated with a plastic bag, the team around Faber (Jörg Hartmann) and Bönisch (Anna Schudt) undertook risky experiments on their own: How does it feel when the plastic steals the air you breathe?

The grievances in the hospital take a back seat - especially since Faber, traumatized by the death of his family, meets a psychologist who can look inside the inspector and prescribes drug therapy for him.

The highlight:

The borderline experience as an analysis accelerator: Faber and Co. go into intoxicating exceptional states.

The drug prophets of the counterculture would be proud of the Dortmund team.

How do you say: There is a method to madness here.

Reminds a bit of the psychedelic Munich "police call" in which Matthias Brandt, as Commissioner Meuffels, investigated heavily sedated on an IV in a hospital.

The picture:

Inspector Dalay (Aylin Tezel, has since left the "crime scene") hyperventilated while trying to do it herself with a plastic bag pulled over her head.

Only at the last moment can a colleague free them.

The dialogue:

Inspector Faber: "Can you tell that I am taking psychotropic drugs?"

Colleague Bönisch: "I can only see that you are crazy, but not what you do about it."

The song:

"Time" by Ash Ra Tempel & Timothy Leary.

The 20-minute piece, which the drug prophet Leary recorded with the hippie ensemble Ash Ra Tempel in 1972, celebrates the liberating and therapeutic effects of LSD.

Would be a nice soundtrack for this »crime scene«, whose investigators do not shy away from risky methods of gaining knowledge.

The review:

8 out of 10 points.

A thriller that breaks out of the rigid investigation routine against the background of the chaotic conditions in an emergency room.

Even daring twists and turns seem halfway believable here.

Dark, crazy, inspired - typical »crime scene« from Dortmund.

The analysis:
