"Love Rage" is the name of the new "Tatort" from Bremen, which ARD is showing today (May 29, 2022) at 8:15 p.m.

You can read in our guaranteed spoiler-free TV review whether the thriller with Jasna Fritzi Bauer and Luise Wolfram is worthwhile.

If after 90 minutes you have the feeling that Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram) of all people was the healthiest character in the whole story, then that's saying something.

The BKA specialist was introduced to the Bremen "crime scene" from the start as, shall we say, a complex character.

Initially alongside Sabine Postel and Oliver Mommsen (she was Stedefreund's affair), Selb has been part of the new team from the Hanseatic city for a year. however, only consisted of her and Jasna Fritzi Bauer as Commissioner Liv Moormann.

The third in the group, Dar Salim aka investigator Mads Andersen, took a break, but should be back in the next episode.

"Tatort: ​​Liebeswut" was directed by Anne Zohra Berrached

So this Linda Selb, with her autistic traits and little empathy for colleagues or victims, held the threads together in this crime thriller with the somewhat irritating title “Liebeswut” (Where was love at stake here?!).

It was teeming with mentally ill, bizarre, pedophiles and simply disturbed people.

The fact that Commissioner Moormann was also being haunted by her own old demons in connection with the investigations fitted all too well – or rather badly – ​​into the picture.

Martina Mouchot wrote the screenplay for this "crime scene"

Everything that was negotiated here was too overloaded.

The characters are exaggerated (book: Martina Mouchot), even if Aljoscha Stadelmann deserves respect given the disgust factor that his character Gernot Schaballa exuded.

The production (director: Anne Zohra Berrached) turned out to be very theatrical.

And the music too: too much – of everything.

Good film music is often not so clearly audible because it can fit so wonderfully into the big picture.

Here you got the impression that the makers didn't trust their own film, in which they wildly mixed fantasy elements with horror and psychological thriller elements.

Why else did the background music (Jasmin Reuter, Martin Glos and Christian Ziegler) come with a wooden hammer?

But what you have to give "love rage" credit for is the high tension,

which created the third episode from the "new Bremen", especially in the second half.

Many suspects, always a new twist and a blatant finale - that was cleverly composed.
