The scenario:
Beauty and homicide.
A doctor who cared for the poor and defenseless well into the night was hit in the head at a night port quay.
Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram), Liv Moormann (Jasna Fritzi Bauer) and Mads Andersen (Dar Salim) get to do with their investigations with people who rebel against the misery around them by self-refinement: A cigar manufacturer smelling of lung cancer wants one last bring delicate Caribbean tobacco blend to market.
A young lesbian couple creates small delicacies with food that has been fished out of the garbage.
A frustrated entrepreneur lets herself be charmed by Pablo Neruda's love verses.
The highlight:
Enjoy and die in Bremen: This »crime scene« is so exhilarating in its individual narrative threads that one can forgive the fact that these narrative threads are not always coherently bundled.
In general, the Bremen editorial team doesn't seem to really know where to go with the young, ambitious team of investigators.
This may also have organizational reasons: In the next, the third episode, the Danish TV star Dar Salim, well-known from "Game of Thrones", is already absent again because he has other international obligations.
The team themselves had already addressed this in a forward-looking and self-deprecating manner in the mockumantary "How to Tatort".
The picture:
15 square meters of comfort.
Commissioner Selb had a tiny prefabricated house placed in the cloudy coastal landscape, in which she cooks a risotto for her colleague, leaving open whether the mushrooms in it are magic mushrooms.
The dialogue:
Investigator Selb talks to the cigar manufacturer, whose family business grew with the economic miracle:
Manufacturer: »Aufhoven cigars are a statement, believe me! The Bonn Republic without cigars? The economic miracle would not have happened. Ludwig Erhardt smoked the Aufhoven number three. "
Selb: »Cancer, right? You remind me of someone. He looked like you and had a month to live. "
Manufacturer: »Yes-ha-ha! That was my diagnosis too - a year ago. I was banned from smoking. "
Selb: "What else should that bring?"
Factory owner: "Forego all the good!"
Selb: "For a few years in asceticism!"
Manufacturer: "No, we are obliged to enjoy."
