Police call 110: Ten roses: is it worth switching on at the Magdeburg thriller?
In "Police Call 110: Ten Roses" (10.2., 8:15 pm, the first), commissioners Doreen Brasch (Claudia Michelsen, 50) and Dirk Köhler (Matthias Matschke, 50) may be dealing with a serial killer. But what role does the unusual woman play in the flower shop? Whether switching on the new case from Magdeburg is worthwhile, find out here.
That's the story
In a deserted Magdeburg backyard, the body of a young woman is found. The murder victim, Kim Pohlmann (Susanne Strach), is tied to her feet. Chief Commissioner Brasch suspects a serial offender and so researches colleague Köhler in the database for similar cases. With the help of her supervisor, Inspector Uwe Lemp (Felix Vörtler), the investigators come across the murder of the prostitute Jessica Peschke (Svenja Ipsen), whose body was tied up in the same way.
At the time, Paul Schilling, who was friends with Jessica, was suspected, but he was released for lack of evidence. Pauline (Alessija Lause), as the trans woman is now called after a gender reassignment, is again under suspicion. But not only she is eligible. What role does the ex-boyfriend of the dead Kim, Jan Freise (Sven Schelker) play?
Is switching on worthwhile?
Yes. This does not necessarily mean only the criminal case, which is quite exciting. Unusually insistent, however, are those scenes that deal with dramatic situations in the life of Transwoman Pauline. "Your life would be easier if you had an alibi - not simple, but easier," says Commissioner Köhler in one place to her very aptly. It tells of prejudice, lovesickness, jealousy and operations. Actress Alessija Lause (38) embodies the complex person very sensitively and never exaggerated.
A thoroughly harmonious figure and the haven of calm in this time quite moderate detective madness, however, is the gentle psychologist Wilke, played by Steven Scharf (44). On the one hand, he is the mistress of the commissioner, on the other hand, he should neutralize in the conflict between Brasch and their no less extreme colleague Köhler. Usually not a very easy task.
A very fitting comment on some passages of the thriller also comes from Commissioner Brasch: "That's too theatrical." Although he is in the film related to a different situation, but he actually fits quite well on the sub-plot line in which the boss just can not decide whether he should go or stay: "I have lost my shadow." These scenes seem a little bit constructed - the same goes for the eponymous ten roses ... All in all a solid Sunday thriller.
