“crime scene” vs. “dream ship”
Extremely weak rate for Christmas thrillers

“Das Traumschiff” clearly outperformed the “crime scene” from Munich on Boxing Day.
The new “crime scene” case went under on the second day of Christmas. Only 4.09 million viewers wanted to see “Tatort: Mord unter Misteln” with Udo Wachtveitl (64) and Miroslav Nemec (68). The detective dinner excursion of the Munich investigators is thus the “crime scene” with the weakest coverage of the year.
According to “DWDL” it is even the worst rate that a new “crime scene” has achieved since it was recorded by the media service – i.e. since 2006. The thrillers that the first broadcasts every year on December 26th traditionally have a hard time compared to regular Sunday dates . But it was never as bad as this time, although the Munich inspectors Batic and Leitmayr are actually crowd favorites.
“Traumschiff” is the winner of the day
The “crime scene” is the loser, the “dream ship” the winner of Boxing Day. The TV cruise ship’s Maldives excursion attracted 5.71 million people. Not a sensational success for ZDF either, but a solid value that maintains the level of the previous year. In 2022, the ARD competition from the “crime scene” was stronger with 6.72 million viewers.
Sat.1 tried “The Ice Queen”. 1.92 million tuned in to the Disney hit. RTL and ProSieben sent shows into the running. The “Christmas Gambling Special” from “Wer mit Millionär?” got 2.92 million for RTL. “The duel around the world – Team Joko versus Team Klaas” scored 0.84 million for ProSieben.
