Overview
It was supposed to look like journalist Harald Strauss died in an accident. But when Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper start investigating, it quickly turns out that he was already dead when his car went off the road. Harald Strauss was poisoned. The journalist researched a pharmaceutical company that was developing a new weight-loss drug, a veritable "fat killer". But everything is fine with the drug, the pharmacologists responsible for the development, Dr. Kiel and Dr. Neumann. Kristina, Harald Strauss' ex-girlfriend, allegedly knows nothing. But Lena notices that the beautiful young woman who wants to make a career as a model has unusual eating habits and takes mysterious pills. Kristina's ambition is to get even thinner than she already is. At the same time, her mood swings are so severe that Lena begins to worry about the young woman. When she discovers that Kristina took part in a series of tests for the fat killer "Nofamax", Lena suspects that Kristina's fear of persecution has something to do with it. Is there real danger for Kristina because she knows a little more about the drug than she's letting on, or is she just imagining the persecution?
About the show
Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
