Ein Starkes Team

Storyline

It's coming up to 20 years since our illustrious Trio set off to solve some of Berlin's more bizarre murder mysteries. The success of the shows longevity hinges around the humor of former DDR Volkspolizei detective Otto (Florian Martens) who never seems to quite mange to adapt to the Western Way of Policing and his eccentric friend "Sputnik" (Jaecki Schwarz). In this latest episode we are introduced to yet another change in the line up with a new male colleague joining the illustrious Trio on a dark humor caper after the murder of a Funeral Undertaker. We are shown the cut throat business of funeral planning, where only the most successful survives in the business. Literally. ZDF are still managing to come up with some compelling stories making this 88 minutes worth watching.
