The furor after the loss. At the end of the first part of this double episode, police officer Anna Novak (Lilith Stangenberg) died of a dose of heroin she thought was cocaine. Commissioner Mila Sahin (Almila Bagriacik) vows revenge. But this is difficult to implement in a setting in which Italian mafiosi, corrupt police and intriguing superiors are involved. The only ally for Sahin is the criminal psychologist Elli Krieger (Karoline Schuch), who lectures on Carl Gustav Jung, but also shows pragmatism at the right moment.

Team building the hard way. Already two years ago, the NDR had announced that after the departure of Axel Milberg as Commissioner Borowski, the remaining in the TV station Almila Bagriacik in the duo with Karoline Schuch will investigate. Therefore, it was a little surprising last Sunday that Schuch as a psychologist only had a miniature appearance. In the second part she now plays tentatively further forward – but Bagriacik still leaves ample room for the melodramatic liberation of her character.

Fabrizio Romagnoli as Mafioso: Godfather

The Godfather. One strand in this crime thrill rich in strands is about the godfather Luca Pelosi (Fabrizio Romagnoli), who stops at leisurely rolled spaghetti and threateningly swollen red wine in a shabby trattoria court and with a wink lets him annoying henchmen of other henchmen strangle.

Almila Bagriacik as Commissioner Sahin. Since 2018, Bagriacik had been seen alongside Axel Milberg, but in the 13 episodes with the colleague she could never quite play her skills. Those who knew her from the soldier drama »Im Feuer« often found her performances in the Kiel »Tatort« strangely slowed down. Now she gives punches and screams her pain out into the world. Whenever the expansive action threatens to paralyse, it keeps the energy level high in revenge mode.

Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. The song runs during a trip to Hamburg in the Kaschemme Zum Silbersack, which has already served extensively in the falcon “crime scene”. Here a witness who needs it drinks a vodka called “Drastwice”. Try Google it.

7 out of 10 points. XXL crime, in which one is now afraid that he could collapse under the weight of exuberant quotes and emotions. Nevertheless, if the team holds out – we would like to see more of him.
