A megalomaniacal criminal doesn’t shy away from cold-blooded murder. The tough psychological drama “Ostfriesenwut” left the competition behind on Saturday evening.
With a new episode of the “Ostfriesen-Krimi” the ZDF won the ratings in prime time on Saturday evening. An average of 6.22 million viewers saw the episode “Ostfriesenwut”, which corresponded to a market share of 23.5 percent.
4.84 million (19.7 percent) chose the ARD guess show “2023 – The Quiz”. The annual quiz was moderated by Kai Pflaume for the first time, after Frank Plasberg had previously moderated the show 15 times. As usual, Barbara Schöneberger, Günther Jauch, Florian Silbereisen and Jan Josef Liefers were the celebrity candidates.
At ProSieben, television chef Horst Lichter and actor Michael Kessler competed against each other – the episode of the game show “Schlag den Star” was seen by 1.36 million (6.6 percent). The children’s book adaptation “Jim Knopf and Lukas the Engine Driver” from 2018 with Solomon Gordon and Henning Baum on Sat.1 was tuned in by 1.28 million (4.9 percent). The RTL annual review “What a year! 77 stories that impressed us in 2023” was seen by 1.25 million (5.5 percent).
Vox showed the feature film “The Da Vinci Code – Sacrilege” with Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou, which was chosen by 0.83 million (3.3 percent). RTLzwei had 0.70 million viewers (2.7 percent) with the Monty Python comedy “The Life of Brian”. The musical comedy “Blues Brothers” on Kabel Eins reached 0.58 million from 8:15 p.m., which meant 2.3 percent for the 1980 cult film.
