It's almost 20 years since our illustrious Trio set off to solve some of Berlin's more bizarre murder mysteries. The success of the show's longevity hinges around the humor of former DDR Volkspolizei detective Otto (Florian Martens), who never seems to adapt to the Western way of policing, and his eccentric friend "Sputnik" (Jaecki Schwarz). This latest episode introduces yet another change in the lineup as a new male colleague joins the illustrious Trio on a dark-humor caper after an undertaker's murder that exposes the cut-throat business of funeral planning, where only the most successful survives in the business--literally. the murder of an undertaker. ZDF are still managing to come up with some compelling stories, making these 88 minutes worth watching.
