Dark, darker, Kohlrabenschwarz
Having already known the Audio-play (with mostly the same actors, some of them in different roles) I very much enjoyed the visual adaption of one of the most impressive german production in younger TV-History i have seen.
Set in Rosenheim, it might be inevitable to think and wait for the "Rosenheim-Cops" , a rather light-heartet german crime-Series. Well, "Kohlrabenschwarz" couldn't be more different. Very dark, sometimes too dark for me (I was warned ;)).
The opening reminds me of the weeping angels (don't know if that reference was intended) and the music of it (as of the whole series) is spheric and fits very much to the pictures, apart from... well the Leimotiv is (in a different version) already known from an "Bernd-das-Brot"-Show. That is a bit irritating.(But not a reason to take a star from that review) In Episode 3 there is one bigger scene simply done for the show: Schwab reading the book in the Church on the pulpit . Well, that is a bit too.. well how to say... obvious. And I wonder why are they always chasing the murderer at night
So I give 9,5 of 10, very much hoping for the next seasons to come soon. Thank you everyone who was involved in this. I want more. Much more
PS: Each of the actors is cast perfectly. But knowing the voice of Christian von Aster as Erdmann this is the only moment I couldn' forget that it started as an audio-play.
