Der Bestatter

This show is fantastic - I also watched most episodes very quickly and now I cant wait for season 3. Love the characters, wit, Luc's eye rolls and facial expressions... the subtitles don't faze me one bit. Keep this great show coming.....love it. I was mesmerized from the first episode. The story lines are great and well written, and the characters really compliment one another. The only comment I would make is that they all touch dead bodies and no one seems to wear gloves or wash their hands. I know its only a show but to me its a bit gross. Luc is a great actor and acts our his part in the show extremely well. Fabio, Anna-Maria and Erika are all great as well. I truly hope the series continues for a few more years.

There are many shows from Europe that are very cheesy and frankly, boring to watch. Why? Because they recycle, like Hollywood, the same tired tropes. This show is in that genre of recycled tropes but they make it fun. The characters and the actors are engaging. There is clearly a chemistry between them all. Could somethings have been better? Sure. But, it was fun to watch.

Highly original. Script, acting and production all excellent. I got hooked on subtitles recently through netflix, as being rather a good way to "read" in bed. Didn't quite believe the love interest between Luc and Anna Marie and didn't like the way she was portrayed as constantly relying on him for assistance .

Although almost each episode was a stand-alone mystery, all the characters evolved throughout the season. It wasn't just about Luc, or solving crimes. There was a very human and very realistic basis to the whole series. All-in-all very satisfying to watch.

If you are looking for something different with plot and characters that keep you hooked look no further.If you enjoyed Wallander you will enjoy this series.

After working through all 4 series over Xmas i am still left wanting more. Most episodes are stand alone who & how dunnits as Luc Conrad undertaker, unable to ignore his well honed instincts after many years working as a detective, picks up murder victims the local police have, and sometimes haven't, missed.

The world of undertaking knows no boundaries. We follow Luc as he and his unlikely employee Fabio, collect bodies from almost every conceivable venue.

The acting, camera work and carefully chosen background music help build suspense and drama.

Great sub plots running throughout and well developed characters.

Despite the dark subject, and sometimes heavy plot line, gentle humour lightens the load. To top it all the series provides an insight into the world of undertaking and gives space to reflect on life and death.

Alle Pointen sind ein Freudenfest für die deutschen Zuschauer: Wenn sich etwa zwei Schweizer schier unverständlich am Tatort unterhalten, bis einer der beiden selbst auflöst "... und jetzt noch mal auf Deutsch". Oder wenn der österreichische Pathologe mit Wiener Schmäh den sarkastischen Konterer mimt, wenn er über eine obduzierte Leiche sagt: "Den Spuren zu urteilen hatte er ein hartes, entbehrungsreiches Leben - also kein typischer Schweizer." Originel und ungewöhnlich im Panorama der heutigen TV Serien... und gute Schauspieler.
