Overview
It is an execution on the open road: in Lucerne, a sniper kills two Albanian car dealers with headshots. Shortly thereafter, the next murder follows the same pattern. This time the victim is a trustee. The murder weapon is the same – Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) are dealing with a serial offender. And they realize that the seemingly random victims have one thing in common: they all committed crimes for which the judiciary has never held them accountable. The two Albanians crippled a young man, and the trustee killed a mother and her child during an insane overtaking maneuver. In tranquil Lucerne, a bloody campaign of revenge is obviously going on. And there are many more potential victims, because the overburdened Swiss judiciary and a new criminal law ensure that numerous other criminal offenses are put on the back burner. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard do everything they can to stop the self-proclaimed avenger before more people die. What happens when someone loses faith in the legal system? How does unpunished injustice lead to a single person taking justice into their own hands? The new "Tatort" from Switzerland packs these questions into an exciting story about a completely normal citizen who sets himself up as a self-proclaimed judge and executioner. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard are chasing the brutal killer who is convinced that he can create "justice". Director Florian Froschmayer delivers a gripping legal thriller with his fifth "Tatort". In addition to Stefan Gubser and Delia Mayer, the acting performance of Antoine Monot jr is particularly convincing. Also starring: Mišel Maticevic, Sarah Hostettler and Jean-Pierre Cornu.
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.
