“The scene” today: the ARD-crime “Land this time,” Frankfurt – t-online.de

In the first “scene” of the year fire it up to date: The Frankfurt commissioners Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich), and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) in “the Land that time” (ARD, 20.15), in the right environment. Can’t convince the case, however.

What is it?

In an arson attack at a hair salon, the trainee Melanie, is killed. The commissioners Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich), and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) begin to detect in all directions: Was Melanie the target of the attack, or just at the wrong time in the wrong place? What is the role of the fierce dispute, it had, according to her colleague Vera (Jasna Fritzi Bauer), an African-born drug dealer? And Margaux (Odine Johne), whose uncle owns the Kiosk opposite the hair salon, know more than it appears?

What’s it really about?

In their investigation, Janneke and Brix come to a possible racist motive of the arson attack on the track. Vera, the colleague of the dead, to hang around in a rock club, with Connections to the right of the scene, and rails against foreigners. And your friend Margaux, and their roommate, Juliane (Anna Brüggemann), circles of nationalist intellectuals. Private Commissioner Brix is confronted with the highly topical issue of Integration: Because his girlfriend Fanny takes in the three refugees, he has to share his living quarters.

What is the most bizarre Moment of the “crime scene”?

For strange scenes Jannekes and Brix’ is the new supervisor of Fosco Cariddi (Bruno Cathomas). The Commissariat conductor turns out to be a big Fan of experimental poetry and recites several times, in minutes and without any warning sound poems by Ernst Jandl, such as “hullabaloo”. That sounds approximately so: “tohuwabohuubaba / tohuwaboobaba / tohuwaababa / tohuubaba / toobaba / babba”.

Worth the Switch?

Only to a limited extent. While it is laudable that the “scene of the crime” deals with the virulent complex of issues of xenophobia, right-wing extremism and nationalism, and to draw a differentiated picture tried. But in the end, the crime remains on the surface, the case is constructed of impact and arg in the length.

in Addition, one has the impression that the Frankfurt Duo has also found in the fifth case his line. For example, if the “crime scene” trying to be funny, but the Gags don’t ignite. A thick minus point is for the end, this is not to be betrayed, at this point, however, is too much. So much but lets say: if you turn on this Sunday evening, go to a different station, don’t miss too much.
