Murot (Ulrich Tukur, l.) with colleague Wächter (Barbara Philipp): examining one's own emotional inadequacy

In private matters he is not such a hero: the investigation into a hotel murder led Inspector Murot (Ulrich Tukur) back into his own past.
One of the prime suspects in the case turned out to be the daughter of the woman he left while vacationing in the Mediterranean more than three decades ago.
There the investigations became the investigation of one's own emotional inadequacy.
In our critique we wrote: »Tukur's commissioner Murot is the great chameleon of the 'crime scene';
a character who is deconstructed anew with each episode so that he can then be reinvented against a genre background all of his own.
Western, violent opera, holiday flirtation, everything is possible.
And now even a kind of light-hearted Buddhist crime-and-punishment movie.«
We gave 9 out of 10 points.
What do you think of the Karma thriller?
»Murot and the Law of Karma« was the eleventh Tukur »crime scene«.
Number twelve is planned.
The screenplay for this was already written by Michael Proehl, who had already written the corpse-saturated episode »Born in Pain«.
Filming is slated to begin in May next year.
The case will not be televised until winter 2023/2024 at the earliest.
A reunion with the actress Barbara Philipp, who plays Murot's colleague Wächter in the Tukur "crime scene", will be there in two weeks: In the new season of "Babylon Berlin", which starts on October 8th on Sky, she embodies with a grim look and black teeth the gangster boss Eisen-Else.
