Brix (Wolfram Koch) and Janneke (Margarita Broich): Don't worry!

The scenario:
Fingerless in Frankfurt.
The son of a business lawyer is kidnapped on a golf course, and Commissioner Janneke (Margarita Broich) and colleague Brix (Wolfram Koch) collect all sorts of fingers during their investigations that could belong to the victim and end up in a women's fight club.
Do the martial artists not only practice trimming men, but also mutilating men?
The highlight:
Scavenger hunt with chopped off limbs: like some Frankfurt »crime scenes« before, this one comes across as a casual, unleashed grotesque.
The picture:
A huge autopsy table with two lonely fingers on it.
Brix and Janneke bend over it helplessly.
"We have never had so little lying here before."
The dialogue:
Scandal between a dog owner and a cat owner in the bacon belt of Frankfurt, you bick at the bushes.
Dog lover: "Caligula stole Bobo's food again."
Cat lover: “That's nonsense. You can see that he's sleeping very peacefully there. "
Dog lover: "Yes, because he filled his stomach on Bobo's bowl."
Cat lover: "Make sure your dog stops barking."
Dog lover: "A dog barks when it feels that it has been treated unfairly."
Cat lover: »Justice? Dogs don't know justice. And one more thing, Ms. Schöne: In the USA, two yapping Tibetan mastiffs had their vocal cords removed in 2017. They have a law there. "
The song:
"Blood Sugar Sex Magik" from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The song is not played in this »crime scene«, but in one scene the investigators look around the kidnap victim's apartment and record collector Brix sinks himself into a record box to conjure up an obscure compression in a white cover.
Not quite firmly on the title, but absolutely self-confident, he lectures: »Oh, here, 1993, this vinyl record.
›Love Sugar Sex Magik‹ from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
If there are only 1300 of them, they easily pay 20,000. "
The review:
6 out of 10 points.
Just don't spend it!
The “Tatort” season 2021/2022 begins with well-groomed self-irony - through which the investigators, however, take the wind out of their sails themselves in the end.
