“The world is ending, Franz – haven’t you heard of it yet?” This faintly whispered pessimism – directed by Inspector Batic to his colleague Leitmayr – was perhaps the sentence that resonated most from this “crime scene” on this particular Sunday.
Shortly before, the ARD viewers had been informed in the "Focal Point" that Vladimir Putin had announced that he would put his military's deterrent forces on alert.
The thriller took place in the days of carnival - which in reality was largely suspended due to the Ukraine war.
However, there was no substitute amusement for the audience in the film.
The action led into the gloomier morning hours of the celebration.
Between the remains of tinsel and streamers, a homeless fortune hunter tried to give her life that had gotten out of control new impetus.
However, she took on Dutch gangsters and gold dealers - and was killed by them in a large, self-staged showdown.
A last robust appearance of the episode's main actress Nina Proll, in which the criminalistic approach was much too thick in this otherwise slightly contaminated hangover thriller.
In our review we wrote: »The new Munich episode ›Kehraus‹ has to lag behind the expansive drunken tableaus of other episodes on the subject because it is deliberately kept in the leaden day-after mode.
Unfortunately, the ›Kehraus‹ team does not succeed in formulating the post-party plot into a strong psychogram.
Just as the anti-heroine keeps running away from the inspectors, the public can't quite get hold of her either.« What do you think?
"Kehraus" was the third Munich "crime scene" in three months.
Another very special episode has just been shot: In this case, the story jumps back from the present to a hundred years.
The detective characters Batic and Leitmayr travel back in time, end up in a British mansion in 1924 and are addressed as "Constable Partridge" and "Chief Inspector Lightmyer".
The title of the probably very cheerful episode is "Krimidinner", it will be broadcast as a Christmas special at the end of the year.
