What does Katrin Markgraf, played by Nina Kunzendorf, have to do with the dead man in “Munich Murder: A Seasonal Story”? The trio investigates.
In addition to the psychically gifted chief detective Ludwig Schaller, chief detective and womanizer Harald Neuhauser and the friendly, naive chief detective Angelika Flierl, the narcissistic chief detective Helmut Zangel is also part of the permanent team. The latter is delightfully embodied by cabaret artist Christoph Süß (56).
Small reference to the anniversary
The opening case of the popular “Munich Murder” crime series, “Wir sind die Neue”, was filmed in 2013 and broadcast on March 29, 2014. With “Munich Murder: A Seasonal Story” (February 10th, 8:15 p.m., ZDF), the 18th case is now pending for the lovable, quirky team of investigators. And if you pay close attention, you won’t miss the little reference to the anniversary in the new film – as usual, unromantic, of course.
Nina Kunzendorf in the main role of the episode
This time the trio, who were deported to the basement of the presidium ten years ago, are looking after a drunken man who is found dead below the Munich Angel of Peace. Suicide or murder is the question here. During the course of the investigation, Schaller, Neuhauser and “Fräulein Flierl” (Schaller) come across the seductive cosmetics dealer Katrin Markgraf.
The multiple Grimme Prize winner Nina Kunzendorf (52, “Maria’s Last Journey”) once again shines in this episode’s leading role. But she is not the only suspect, because there is a second death…
Flat jokes vs. puns
The “Munich Murder” creatives always wrap up the series’ typical musings about the dramatic sides of love in subtle word games. “It’s not love, the woman is a cheating marriage punter,” is what the viewers are told this time by screenwriter Peter Kocyla (46). Sentences like this create the entertaining height for flat jokes like this: “Women are like tornadoes. First wet, then stormy and then the house is gone.”
