The “Crime Scene: Last Trip to Schauinsland” runs on Whit Monday. Is it worth tuning in to the penultimate crime thriller before the summer break?
It’s that time again: The Sunday crime thriller moves forward one day due to the holiday and so the viewers get the “Crime Scene: Last Trip to Schauinsland” on Whit Monday (May 20th, 8:15 p.m.) served in the first. In this penultimate crime thriller before the long “Tatort” summer break, the Black Forest investigators Franziska Tobler (Eva Löbau, 52) and Friedemann Berg (Hans-Jochen Wagner, 55).
That’s what “Crime Scene: Last Trip to Schauinsland” is about
The psychologist and psychiatric expert Lisa Schieblon is found strangled in the trunk of her car in the Schauinsland parking lot. The traces lead Tobler and Berg from Freiburg’s local mountain to a forensic clinic. Hansi Pagel (Rüdiger Klink, 52) has been in prison there for several years. He was convicted of violence against his wife Andrea Pagel (Angelika Richter, 51) and their children Isabelle Pagel (Lara Koller) and Leo Pagel (Anton Dreger, born 1996). Before her death, Schieblon was working on a new report on Hansi Pagel’s personality disorder, which he hoped would result in his release.
However, many did not share this hope with him. His family is happy that he is locked away and doesn’t want him to return. And his roommate Milan Vukovic (Bekim Latifi, 30) can no longer imagine life in the forensic clinic without Hansi. The hospital doctors also still consider the father of the family to be dangerous…
Is it worth turning on?
Yes! Maybe a lot of names are introduced at the same time at the beginning and it may also be that some viewers find one or two sentences a bit incomprehensible due to acoustic or dialect reasons. But these are just small things in an otherwise very watchable crime thriller, which in the end even ranks in a list of rarities in the cult crime series – without wanting to give too much away.
This time Tobler and Berg do not investigate clumsily, but rather pleasantly soberly, authentically and seriously. Of course it’s about solving the murder case, but this interesting film also gives an exciting insight into forensic psychiatry. Processes and regulations in a “kindergarten for adults”, effects and side effects such as “dragons” of the necessary medication, genius and madness of narcissists on the one hand and the fate of their relatives on the other. Anyone who has ever had a glimpse of this scenery will probably find themselves laughing in some places. Because hanging over everything is the eternal question that Ms. Pagel also addresses to the commissioners: “Have you ever seen a man like my husband change?”
