This is one of the boring episodes of the "Tatort" series because the case is just unspectacular: The question is if the victim was pushed down the balcony by the unscrupulous manager or if she committed suicide to have him imprisoned - the solution is only too foreseeable. Although the film has some good actors in it, I couldn't help yawning after watching some minutes because the script is very poor. Moreover, I was disappointed by the character of superintendent Ehrlicher: It seems as if he still can't cope with the reunification. And if he is not nostalgic, the only other thing he seems to be interested in is food and drinks. Some German journalists call him "the German Columbo", but I would like to add a decisive difference: Columbo only pretends to be a bit slow ... Nevertheless, you can't help liking him somehow although he is not as discriminating as other detectives. Let's hope for better and more suspense-packed cases and episodes.
