Launched in 2016, the brilliant 90-minute hit crime drama Der Zürich-Krimi returns this month on German pubcaster Das Erste with Borchert und die Stadt in Angst 1 & 2 and Borchert und der Schuss in Herz.
Der Zürich-Krimi is part of the Donnerstags Krimi collection of Das Erste. It stars the great Christian Kohlund (Das Traumhotel, Black Forest Clinic) as the melancholic Thomas Borchert, an "unlicensed attorney" who works in Zurich for lawyer Dominique Kuster and often acts as a private investigator. Ina Paule Klink (Wilsberg) co-stars as Dominique. The other regulars are Pierre Kiwitt as Police captain Marco Furrer, Robert Hunger-Bühler (Dr. Reto Zanger), Susi Banzhaf as Regula Gabrielli (Dominique's assistant) and Yves Wüthrich (Lieutenant Urs Aeggi, Furrer's deputy).
Captain Furrer asks Dominique and Borchert for help as four persons have been murdered within the last ten days in Zurich. Despite the assistance of Ayla Deniz, a profiler and AI expert, the police can't find a connection between the victims but they suspect a serial killer because of a small carboard representation of an eclipse found on the crime scenes. The public ignores there's a serial murderer in town and Furrer is in competition with Captain Lueger, a colleague who covets the commander's position. Borchert is himself the target of the "Zürich-Killer".
Written by Wolf Jacoby and directed by Roland Suso Richter, Borchert und die Stadt im Angst celebrates the 20th episode of Der Zürich-Krimi with a suspenseful and moving two-parter blessed with the presence of sister/brother actors Anne Bennent and David Bennent (Die Blechtrommel) as twins Andrea and Jürg Dolmas. Their last TV work together was in a 1986 episode of Derrick. With Oona Devi Liebich (Ayla Deniz), Sebastian Krähenbühl (Lueger), Matthias Weidenhöfer (Moritz Bührer), Robin Sondermann (Timo Brock), Luise Krahl ("Andi"), Linus Gehriger ("Jojo"), Susanne Szell (Verliebt in Berlin) as Susanne Gerber, etc.
