The “crime scene: conspiracy” will be a great challenge for the Viennese commissioners – and thus also for their fans. This is what a thriller is about.
In “Tatort: Conspiracy” (May 9, 8:15 pm, the first), the Viennese investigative duo Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer, 60) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser, 62) are actually on the trail of a conspiracy. After the death of a senior Home Office official, things become more and more complicated for the commissioners.
This is what “Tatort: Conspiracy” is all about
A scorching hot summer in Vienna. Bibi Fellner jogs through the forest and quite by chance runs into a senior official from the Ministry of the Interior. A little later, the man is dead. Moritz Eisner, who in a few days is due to start a long-awaited project at Europol and the EU anti-corruption agency OLAF in The Hague, Netherlands, decides to take on this case. But is it even a case? The ministry is pushing for the cause of death to be presented as a simple heart attack. Apparently there was no outside influence, and the traces of the doping agent in the blood of the deceased do not prove poisoning.
Although the deceased was feared in the ministry, he apparently only had friends in private. He leaves behind a grieving widow, a neighbor who is friends and a caring sports doctor. Exactly at the time when Moritz Eisner tracks down the first gaps in the dead man’s sparkling past, it is announced that he will not get the job in The Hague. The exemption, however, which he had applied for in order to be able to go to Holland, was granted. Now Moritz Eisner is rid of the case and his new professional perspective. This does not slow him down. But on the contrary …
Is it worth switching on?
Yes! In any case, the audience can expect a film that is well worth seeing. “A real thriller heast!” – with a classic twist. It will be particularly exciting for all fans of the Viennese team, because one of them will lose their job “after 35 years”, the other may even lose their life – that much has already been revealed. There are also some interestingly made scenes that tell from the perspective of hallucinating people.
The audience can always breathe a sigh of relief when the two main investigators show each other from the amiable side, which is enriched with a lot of Viennese humiliation. Speaking of which, the new assistant Meret Schande (Christina Scherer) introduced in the previous case is slowly gaining shape – and is also being criticized less. On the other hand, Eisner’s boss, Ernst “Ernstl” Rauter, got off really badly once again. Vienna “Tatort” connoisseurs could slowly ask themselves whether – instead of the commissioner – it shouldn’t be better for him to take his hat off.
The fact that the thriller is set in a particularly hot summer in Austria fits like a fist in the eye, considering the temperatures forecast for the weekend …
