Münster crime scene: good friends, bad friends

That's what the new Münster crime scene is all about

In Münster, a contractor rushes out of his office and is finally run over by a car. The dead man was still dead before the fall, was hit with a hammer. After a pimp is also murdered with a hammer, it is clear to viewers and investigators that there is a connection between the two murders. Both victims had to do with the construction of the controversial Waikikioase - a brothel camouflaged as a spa oasis, demonstrating against the Commissioner Thiels father and a civic movement. The bizarre twist can not be long in coming: The perpetrator, who has recorded a surveillance camera, staged as avenger in superhero gear. Can Thiel and Boerne stop the perpetrator before a third murder happens?

Contra Münster crime scene: Too much flamboyance, too little logic

I think the Münster crime scene is bad. So, now it's finally out. After the ever-new attendance records and the hype surrounding this crime scene in recent years, I never dared to say it. So you do not make friends. Our readers have also chosen the thriller from Münster by far to be their absolute crime scene favorite. What should one say with so much sympathy?

You prefer to watch TV together? No problem! Every week, the thriller fans in the ChroniquesDuVasteMonde community exchange views on the current crime scene or police raid. Look and discuss with - in the "strand for all cases"!

And I'm by no means on the whim of the opinion that the Münster crime scene is bad. On the contrary, I belong to the group that once was an avid fan. As unfortunately so often with a certain love, the disenchantment for me began with a banality. A good friend wrote an SMS on Sunday evening: "Thiel and Boerne are standing in my lecture hall - in Dusseldorf." Well, the transmitter saves quite exemplary: Instead of the entire team for the complete filming to Münster to move, which was probably at the beginning of the 2002 series still did, you just turned in other rooms. That is not uncommon, but I got up then: where Münster is on it, just not just Münster is in it.

At first I was also enthusiastic about the snobby Professor Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers), his brash partner Thiel (Axel Prahl) and their vicious verbal combats. Actually, just my sense of humor. Meanwhile, the excitement has turned into an annoyed fatigue, because the writers force the two to 90 minutes through a crime thriller, in which the joke almost kills you and counts more than the logic. In the end, it does not matter if the case has been cleared up, who killed whom and why and if all this makes sense. The main thing, the jokes sit, then the quota is right in the end. The higher this last was, the bigger was my disappointment.

Insa Winter was born in Münsterland and lived in Münster for a long time. The love for Münster has remained, the love of Münster crime scene not.

Just in time for the jubilee, the jokes in the 25th crime scene from Münster are a bit better than before, but saving money is not saved by a joke, but above all by the logic. Why does the offender number his victims with a hammer on which he has attached a number? So that the investigators can better understand the order in which the dead were murdered? That would be a service! The authors, however, owe these and other questions to us.

The fans of the Münster crime scene can look forward to one thing: rely on Thiel and Boerne, there are no surprises, but the same program that made the crime scene so successful. And whether we find it good or bad, or we do not care about it - on Monday you can not avoid conversations about the crime scene.

Pro Münster crime scene: Thiel and Boerne are like good friends

"Friends are gardens where you can rest." This is one of my favorite quotes - it comes from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of the "Little Prince". For me it means that we do not have to work hard with true friends to make us feel good. And that's exactly how I feel about my beloved friends Kriminalhauptkommissar Frank Thiel and Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne from the Münster crime scene.

Granted, the friendship is one-sided, completely fictional and separated by a screen, but that does not bother me. The two have been coming to visit me on Sundays evenings for twelve years and always tell their jokes in the same way. This is not boring but reassuring.So also this time in the episode "The Hammer". Boerne points to the dead man's forehead: "Here we see an Arabic numeric code." Thiel: "For me it looks like a two." Or good: Boerne's assistant Alberich (Silke Haller): "I love superheroes." - Boerne: "Otherwise you would not work with me."

Bianka Echtermeyer studied in Münster and loves the city. But that is not the only reason why she is a fan of the Münster crime scene. Boerne and Thiel have simply become friends for her.

Also, the rest is as you know it: Boerne has plenty of room for his arrogance (in the first scene he drives with white tuxedo jacket to the scene), Thiel is verpeilt and overwhelmed (he remains only one scene later with the Belt on a doorknob) and "Vaddern", the father of Commissar Thiel, protests again against the system (but this time has female support). Oh, and the case? He is as irrelevant as he is always secondary. All this can be criticized and found silly, but I still consider the Münster crime scene. Because behind the arrogance of Boerne and the verpeilheit of Thiel is a deep desire for friendship. After familiarity and closeness. And that still touches me after all these years. We are just friends.
