Original synopsis

Overview

Nina Schramm, leader of the "New Patriots" parliamentary group, is increasingly becoming the target of hate mail and death threats. Inspector Falke and his colleague Julia Grozs are seconded for their personal protection. To the chagrin of his colleague, Falke and the right-wing populist make no secret of their mutual dislike. When Schramm's car is destroyed by an explosion and her husband Richard is killed in the process, right-wing networks report the attack by a "left-wing mob" and accuse the police of standing by and doing nothing. For the investigators, however, there are inconsistencies in the media campaign of the right-wing populists, especially since state security is obviously involved in the background.

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.
