While Paula Ringelhahn with Wanda Goldwasser and Sebastian Fleischer take up the case of an arson at a refugee accommodation in Bamberg,
Felix Voss is still on his flight back from Caucasus.
Because no one at the crime scene knows him, he gets the idea to work undercover.
As a Chechen refugee he tries to build contacts in the home.
The suspicion exists that someone prevented the victim Neyla Mafany on her escape of the burning church.
Carefully, Voss gets closer to Said Gashi, who is in charge of the refugees.
With the young Syrian Basem he soon puts together more:
Basem confides in him and doesn't know that he isn't the one that he is pretending to be.
A case of being foreign and the deepest wish of safety in life.
Cool music.
What? Herr Antrim is reading detective stories in his videos now?
No. That was the summary of the episode of Tatort that ran on Sunday.
Almost every week #tatort is under "Trends" on Twitter. What is that and why is it so popular?
Tatort is the longest running and most popular detective series in the German speaking world.
The first episode aired in 1920. Every year there are around 35 episodes.
Every episode, which is about 90 minutes long is almost like an entire film and is produced by a public tv station.
Every tv station creates their own smaller series within the series "Tatort".
Every smaller series takes place in a large city in Germany,
Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologn, Leipzig, Ludwigshafen, Stuttgart, Münster and the Ruhr area cities, Essen und Duisburg.
It is similar in the USA with the series CSI.
There is CSI: Vegas, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York and CSI: Cyber.
What happens in an episode of Tatort?
Someone dies or loses their life or drowns
or gets stabbed, suffocated, shot, burned, poisoned, hanged, beheaded, driven over or somehow murdered.
The investigators follow the clues.
If there is a perpetrator, the investigators catch him or her or sometimes they don't.
Sometimes it isn't a murder and then there is also no perpetrator.
Maybe it was an accident or suicide. Of course there is also romance and drama.
In my opinion Tatort is special, because it has been running for so long and it is still popular.
Every Sunday evening the Germans watch the new episode
and on Monday morning they talk about it in the office if it was good or bad.
For me the episodes are a bit boring.
Maybe I am too used to the American series.
I need more action and more drama.
In case you haven't seen an episode of Tatort, you can find many episodes on YouTube.
One must simply type "Tatort ganze Folge" in the search bar.
If you add in a year, you can find new or older episodes.
The newest episodes are available on the website of "das Erste".
Unfortunately, this series is not for children under the age of 12.
Therefore you can only watch the newest episodes between 8 pm and 6 am,
because the youth protection law in Germany even protects the children in the internet.
