The season is over, until the end of August only "Tatort" repeats will run on Sunday in the first.

An overview of what crime fans will see in the next few weeks.

Summer time is repetition time - the ARD Sunday crime thriller is traditionally no exception.

The last new production of the season, a "Polizeiruf 110" from Magdeburg, has run, from next Sunday there will be canned murder and manslaughter.

However, the summer break has not started as late as this year for a long time.

Last year, new episodes ended on June 6th, in 2020 on June 8th.

The time without fresh cases now lasts eight weeks, in 2021 it was twelve weeks, in 2020 even 13. But that does not mean that there will be more "crime scenes" and "police calls" in 2022 than in other years.

In autumn, when the soccer World Cup is on in Qatar, there will be one or two Sundays without, or at least without new Sunday thrillers.

Here's an overview of what fans can expect over the next eight weeks.

Cologne

In the case of the murder of a renowned psychiatrist, inspectors Ballauf (Klaus J. Behrendt) and Schenk (Dietmar Bär) investigate in

"Captive"

, to be seen on July 10th.

However, Ballauf himself is undergoing psychiatric treatment.

He feels guilty after the fatal shooting of a colleague in the previous episode.

"'Tatort' debutante Isa Prahl kissed the Rhenish warhorses awake," praised the critic of our newspaper after the first broadcast on May 17, 2020, which was seen by 9.36 million people, and particularly emphasized Behrendt's performance.

Rarely have you seen his character "with more depth and intensity".

The Kiel duo Klaus Borowski and Mila Sahin (Axel Milberg and Almila Bagriacik) deal with police students on July 17.

At a workshop led by the two, a prospective policewoman stabs a comrade in front of the two criminals.

Is the bloody act related to the suicide of a young woman who, as it quickly turns out, knew some of the police students?

The case was "cleverly composed and conclusive with a few exceptions", the critic judged, but gave Bagriacik a bad report.

She was "the major weakness of this 'crime scene'".

The first broadcast of

"Borowski and the White Seagull"

on May 10, 2020 was watched by an average of 8.71 million viewers.

Stuttgart

The topic of care is dealt with in the case

of "Anne and Death"

, which was awarded the German Television Prize and can be seen again on July 24th.

Inspectors Lannert (Richy Müller) and Bootz (Felix Klare) have to find out whether geriatric nurse Anne Werner (Katharina Marie Schubert) is responsible for the deaths of two of their patients.

"No shocking crime, no lengthy lamentations about the general nursing shortage," our newspaper said: "The crime thriller draws its tension from the fine psychogram that it draws from its protagonist." An average of 8.81 million saw "Anne und Death" at its premiere on May 19, 2019.

Hamburg

Thorsten Falke (Wotan Wilke Möhring) directs the episode “The Golden Age”

(July 31)

to the Hamburg neighbourhood, where he himself once worked as a bouncer .

The two are looking for an underage Romanian who stabbed the son of a former neighborhood celebrity - obviously a contract killing.

"A home game" for Falke, the critic found after the first broadcast on February 9, 2020 (8.7 million viewers): "He is convincingly supported by Julia Grosz, who gives Franziska Weisz more and more contours."

Muenster

The audience favorites from Münster, Axel Prahl aka Frank Thiel and Jan Josef Liefers aka Karl-Friedrich Boerne, are also represented in the summer with the episode

“Long live the king!

“, to be seen on August 7th.

Thiel and Boerne have to solve the murder of a lord of the castle, who - wearing armor - is found dead in his own moat.

With 13.8 million viewers, this crime thriller, first broadcast on December 13, 2020, was the most-watched crime thriller of that year, but the critic nonetheless complained that author Benjamin Hessler was “how blind to the possibilities that such an ambience (a castle, Red. ) would offer especially for weird thrillers like the 'Tatorte' from Münster." "Long live the king!" was "not a highlight".

Dresden

The Dresden episode “Das Nest”

(August 14)

is a thriller with elements of horror films .

The trio around the weird police chief Peter Michael Schnabel (Martin Brambach) has to track down a sick killer who lets his victims bleed dry in a stunned state in order to then conserve them and put them like dolls at the breakfast table in an empty hotel.

The critic particularly praised the interplay of Karin Hanczewski as Karin Gorniak and newcomer Cornelia Gröschel as Leonie Winkler.

Gröschel was "not at all afraid of showing the unlikable sides of her character on her first 'Tatort' assignment, 'Das Nest' is a successful, promising debut for her." A debut that was broadcast on April 28th At least 9.67 million crime fans saw it in 2019.

Munich

On August 21, a "crime scene" from the Bavarian capital will be repeated.

In

"Let the moon stand in the sky"

, first broadcast on June 7, 2020 in front of 9.84 million viewers, the inspectors Batic (Miroslav Nemec) and Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) investigate the case of a 13-year-old who died in the Isar is found.

Had he prostituted himself on the streets and been killed by a customer?

"Director Christopher Schier succeeds in leading us from the disreputable milieu to the true abysses," the critics said at the time, "namely to those who don't yawn in public, but behind building walls."

Dortmund

The summer break ends on August 28th with the episode

"Heile Welt"

from Dortmund, the debut of Stefanie Reinsperger as Rosa Herzog.

The murder of a young woman is the trigger for a clash of cultures in a problem area, fueled by hatred and hate speech on the Internet, whose victim is inspector Martina Bönisch (Anna Schudt).

"Everyone accuses everyone that social networks are used as a platform for 'fake news' and fake videos," our newspaper summed up after the first broadcast on February 21, 2021. The respective groups "rock each other up in their madness".
