Gorniak and Winkler have to stop a series of attacks on a rescue station in the "Tatort: Rescue so close". Is it worth switching on?
On Sunday, February 7th from 8:15 p.m., the Dresden team of investigators will once again go on the hunt for criminals. In "Tatort: Rescue So Close", Karin Gorniak (Karin Hanczewski, 39), Leonie Winkler (Cornelia Gröschel, 33) and their boss Peter Michael Schnabel (Martin Brambach, 53) have to stop and investigate a series of attacks and murders on paramedics.
This is what "Tatort: Rescue So Close" is all about
During an operation on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden, a paramedic is suffocated with a plastic bag in the vehicle. His young colleague Greta Blaschke (Luise Aschenbrenner, 25) can no longer help him. The inspectors Karin Gorniak and Leonie Winkler as well as the chief inspector Schnabel investigate in all directions.
A rioting patient, whose health insurance has cut benefits, is just as suspicious as one of Greta's colleagues who seems to be hiding something. A short time later, a second attack was carried out on an ambulance at the same location. A paramedic is seriously injured, and help comes too late for a colleague. The fear of further attacks increases at the rescue station.
Greta Blaschke has run out of strength due to the murder of her colleague and the exhausting job. The single mother hopes for a distraction from an evening date with Jens Schlüter (Golo Euler, 38), whom she met in her daughter's kindergarten. Little does she suspect that on this path she will be confronted with a traumatic experience from her past and that she will be in extreme danger …
Is it worth switching on?
Absolutely! In addition to the three, as always strong actors of the Dresden team, the episode roles are convincing across the board. Above all, Golo Euler as a torn, desperate, grieving and inscrutable family man. But Luise Aschenbrenner also gives a strong performance and brings her character of the overwhelmed, single mother in a stressful job realistically to the screen at every second.
And I also like the story itself: it is told in an exciting way, has a few (somewhat predictable) twists and turns in its luggage and carries through the 90 minutes without a hint of boredom. An all-round successful Sunday evening thriller, which, however, will not be a milestone in the "Tatort" era. Nevertheless, the predicate: Much more than just solid!
