Commissioner Pawlak with ex-wife: a perfect day?

"You're a junkie too," the dealer said to investigator Jan Pawlak.
"You pressed it once in a while." With that, the criminal recognized in the young policeman what his oh-so-empathetic colleague had previously missed.
With his 11th appearance in the Dortmund »Tatort«, the biographical background of the commissioner played by Rick Okon was rolled out more broadly for the first time. It was about bankers and junkies, all driven by fear. In one scene, Pawlak met his drug addict wife, who had been in hiding for a year. The two of them embraced in a club while listening to Lou Reed's heroin ballad "Perfect Day", which also played a central role in "Trainspotting".
In our review we wrote: “Some hang on the needle, the others on the Dax - in this nested film noir 'crime scene' it is not always clear how one relates to the other.
But to be honest - has anyone ever fully understood the noir classic ›Dead sleep tight‹ with Humphrey Bogart?
The unleashed panic thriller by Sönke Lars Neuwöhner (book) and Martin Eigler (book and direction) looks like a mixture of ›Dead sleep tight‹ and ›Trainspotting‹ - including noise-related logic holes. "
We gave 7 out of 10 points.
What do you think of the crime trip?
Another Dortmund »crime scene« has already been shot.
It is entitled »Love Me!«.
And here, too, the private concerns of the investigators are negotiated: The relationship quarrel between investigator Bönisch and her forensic science friend, who already played a role in "Greed and Fear", comes to a dangerous head while the team has to deal with a particularly tricky case .
The script was written by Jürgen Werner, who was part of the team from Dortmund.
