Launched in 2016 on German pubcaster Das Erste, the brilliant 90-minute crime drama Der Zürich-Krimi stars the great Christian Kohlund as the melancholic Thomas Borchert, an "unlicensed attorney" working in Zurich for lawyer Dominique Kuster.
Ina Paule Klink (Wilsberg) co-stars as Dominique (1). Money. Murder. Zurich. (the international title of Der Zürich-Krimi) is available in the United States and Canada on the SVOD service MHz Choice.
Aired by Das Erste in March 2019, Borchert und der Sündenfall is the sixth episode of Der Zürich-Krimi. It was penned by Wolf Jacoby and directed by Roland Suso Richter. Felix Kramer plays Police captain Marco Furrer (Pierre Kiwitt replaced him from Episode 7). Star lawyer Dr. Reto Zanger, Dominique Kuster's father and an old friend of Thomas, is played by Robert Hunger-Bühler. Other regulars are Susi Banzhaf as Regula Gabrielli (Dominique's assistant), Andrea Zogg as Beat Bürki－Borchert's "personal" taxi driver, and Yves Wüthrich (Urs Aeggi, Furrer's deputy).
The owner of a Zurich nightclub is shot dead in self-defense by the police during a raid. Officer Emmi Arnold, the daughter of Captain Furrer's old mentor, tells Marco that the whole operation was a setup and there was no self-defense. When the young woman is found dead, Furrer is framed for her murder by some crooked colleagues. He asks Dominique for help and Thomas Borchert quickly joins her. The classic plot of Borchert und der Sündenfall is compensated by a cast of quality and the extraordinary presence of Christian Kohlund.
