Axel Prahl as Frank Thiel: The episode was about a monster drug

Revenge can be a complicated affair - as seen in Sunday's bad trip with Inspector Thiel. At the end we witnessed how, in a flashback, a daughter shot her own father with his approval - in order to frame the hated, drugged investigator for the crime. You have to be a sick brain to come up with such an idea. But it could also have had something to do with the monster drug Burundanga, which this episode was about.

In our review we wrote: »At the center of the story is the chemical compound scopolamine, also known in South America as burundanga – »the devil's breath«.

It is repeatedly described as the most dangerous drug in the world.

Consumption makes people, so the ominous whisper in the ›Tatort‹, become a zombie with no will.

As such, we see Inspector Thiel (Axel Prahl) wandering through flashback constructions, on his face a stupid grin, in his arm a plush koala bear that he stole from a gas station.

The drug-related degeneration of the characters tops all previous Munster highs and lows in this episode.«

We gave 6 out of 10 points.

How did you like the drug trip?

"The devil's long breath" was the 40 episode about the team of Thiel and Boerne.

Another Münster "crime scene" has already been filmed.

It has the working title "Propheteus" and is about an IT specialist who was murdered in his smart house among all sorts of electronic gadgets.

The episode is scheduled to air in the first half of the year.
