Curious to watch this after sitting through the three seasons of the Belgian show, I thought it was sort of superfluous. I didn't think the German actor compared well to Koen De Bouw as the Professor, and this first episode showed none of the weird humor of it's inspiration. I liked the actress playing the detective, but the other cast choices didn't impress (and too much smoking.) Plus the wrap up of the case was very rushed.
