RunningScripted showFantasy, Romance, Mystery

Märchenperlen is ZDF's series of fairy tale adaptations, which has existed since 2005. These are often fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, which are mainly broadcast in the Christmas program. The films are based on the classic traditions, but have been modernized in terms of narrative and content (e.g. Little Red Riding Hood). Outdated statements and symbolism from the original version were reinterpreted or supplemented in order to take contemporary linguistic sensitivity into account.

Dept. Q

DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
