How did this proposal for such an absurd premiss ever get a hearing with the TV company's commissioning body? And worse, approved? I usually give any series the benefit of watching at least the first episode to give it a chance but here I switched off after about 25 minutes.
I had honestly thought that this would be a clever police procedural drama, but instead it's a mishmash of nonsense. The whole of the German prison system is somehow subverted to get a convict to start work as a consultant on the enquiry, there's no actual detective work as "clues" fall into the laps of the cops, the consultant sniffs or touches an item and immediately knows if the person owning it is guilty or not. Or he does the same thing, psychically to reveal items that even a forensic pathologist has missed or to "see" events that led up to an incident.
It is absolutely ridiculous, a total load of baloney. I'm glad I didn't pay to get this.
