Always ready to hand on TV when something really tormenting is needed is the so-called marriage hell. Also in crime scene It’s here from Vienna, but then it’s over very quickly. One day, tax officer Weingartner throws up in the service wastebasket, sneaks home sick before the usual time, precisely at the moment when his wife is raving to her best friend over champagne and chocolates about the orgasms she had with her lover. Timing is half the crime. A moment later the two suburban women lie in their blood with their throats cut, and the already cheerless finance officer becomes even more cheerless when a star lawyer manages the trick of helping him to get an acquittal.
If this Viennese crime scene A different turn at this point, the episode “Everything was right” (directed by Gerald Liegel, written by Karin Lomot and Robert Buchschwenter) could have become the psychogram of an unpunished perpetrator who doesn’t just want to get away with it. In any case, Johannes Zeiler plays the devout, knife- and revolver-armed sad tax officer Weingartner in such a way that one would like to know the untold story of this anti-hero. But Weingartner is lost for a while and is only awkwardly reintegrated into the plot from minute 57.

In the meantime, someone murders the shrewd lawyer, and suspects pop up everywhere, and they often don’t stay long. One motive would have Weingartner’s daughter, whose alibi fails because of a side dish with the beef roulade. Weingartner’s prison acquaintance also comes into play, the long-term prison resident “Inkasso-Heinzi” (enchantingly trusting: Simon Schwarz) and a certain Ms. Gavric, who makes sure that the debt collection Heinzi is beaten up in every new jail, as well as a very religious gardener; Ms. Gavric happens to be cleaning in the now-dead lawyer’s office and has a niece, who then tells a story too.
At some point you feel like someone sitting on a park bench while new strange animals keep running by. Exciting? From the point of view of biodiversity in crime, absolutely.
Friends of the thoroughly honest Viennese investigators Bibi Fellner and Moritz Eisner (Adele Neuhauser, Harald Krassnitzer) will still like the story. Seven minutes before the end, Fellner says to Eisner, who is also completely honest: “You know, these are all assumptions. We don’t have anything in our hands.” And that’s really all there is to say.
