Two years ago I discovered this German TV series and I enjoy to see every day a new episode.
Derrick is first this chief inspector of Munich , Stephan Derrick,who with his colleague Harry Klein solves crimes using their hability to observe, talking with the people,looking for the motive of a crime, investigating the past, the friendships of a suspect or of a victim.Rarely they have to use their weapons for arresting a suspect.
Derrick is also Munich, this town with nices neighbourhoods , great monuments, the English Garden, the banks of the Isar River,but also dangerous neighbourhoods and also the nice surroundings (lakes, countryside,etc).
Derrick is a very consistent TV series, a pleasant size (57-59 minutes), Derrick and Klein have to act quickly (there is not time for their personal problems). The same writer for all the episodes, Herbert Reinecker !! The episodes have the touch of Herbert Reinecker, a man who has some favorite themes: through his episodes Herbert Reinecker shows his indignation, his anger or his aversion when people are forcing women to prostitution (white slavery), when men are abusing and raping women, when rackets are destroying honest businesses.
Also the description of the bourgeoise and high society with their problems of inheritance, fight for power o infidelity may be quite acid.
As I mention the private life of Stephan Derrick and Harry Klein doesn't have a great importance in these episodes.
