Ensemble cast of 4 lead by Sophie, Caroline, a bright star. Light hearted, enjoyable. Who knew Germans could do light comedy. I love her smile, like the cat who ate the canary. I enjoy her outfits and see each season they give her a new color palette. For someone forced to stay who wants to get back to Cologne, she is kind and assimilates well. Commitment Phobic or maybe she just hasn't met the right guy.
Barbel is cute & socially naive. Both are astute Detectives. They like each other. Sophie lights up when they have a murder
I like that her Dad who in real life has died, is portrayed as living in Poland with his young girlfriend.
2 episodes kept seeing Owls, one on the lit Polizei sign. A bit Surrealistic. They don't play too much loud music during scenes.
Season 4, The new Mayor has a one night stand, &doesn't tell Sophie his intentions before. What a Cad. Maybe family in Cologne. I guess he can Troll in Cologne for casual sex.
I don't take it seriously as a crime drama. But not bad. I've seen worse taking themselves seriously. One review hated the characters. Me, I like them.
