Lannert - 18 - Im gelobten Land
A well-prepared action with the drug investigation is to take place at a freeway parking lot. But instead of arresting Milan Kostic, the alleged murderer and successor to a drug kingpin, along with his goods, Lannert, Bootz and their colleagues are faced with a shocking sight: 23 people have died while fleeing to Germany. Convinced that Kostic is to blame for this death, Thorsten Lannert pursues the suspected smuggler. Lela, who fled Africa, is supposed to testify against him. But Kostic takes the wounded Lela to a refugee home. Thorsten Lannert succeeds in chasing, but he runs into a trap. Although he is injured himself, he manages to keep Kostic and his sister Mitra in their hiding place in the home.
While Sebastian Bootz searches the home to find Thorsten Lannert and the suspects, he uses all his powers of persuasion and nerves of steel in a deadlock. He must succeed in persuading Milan to give up. Because a new transport is already on the way and more refugees could die horribly if the transporter is not found in time... The latest crime scene from Stuttgart, "In the Promised Land", is about the dangerous path taken by refugees and the role of smugglers.
What predominates in the business of the smugglers, the unscrupulous human trafficking or the help for desperate refugees? What are traffickers willing to do when it comes to saving their own skins? In the direct confrontation between Thorsten Lannert and the Kostics, it's not just pistol against pistol, but the question of conscience and responsibility becomes a weapon. The film by author Christian Jeltsch and director Züli Aladag lasts only a few hours, and most of the atmospheric story takes place in the middle of the refugee home.

Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
Rick and Morty
Rick is a mentally gifted, but sociopathic and alcoholic scientist and a grandfather to Morty; an awkward, impressionable, and somewhat spineless teenage boy. Rick moves into the family home of Morty, where he immediately becomes a bad influence.
Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
Bergerac
Bergerac is based on the original series created by Robert Banks Stewart, which starred John Nettles and ran for nine series on the BBC between 1981 and 1991. The modern re-imagining will honour the iconic detective drama, but with a contemporary twist. Unlike the original hit from the 80s, the new series will see one character-led murder mystery run across all six episodes, in place of a new storyline each episode.
Viewers will meet Jim Bergerac as a broken man, grappling with grief and alcoholism following his wife's recent death. His mother-in-law, Charlie, is concerned Jim isn't putting his daughter Kim first and, when a woman from a wealthy Jersey family is murdered, Jim must fight through his personal struggles to become the formidable investigator he once was.
With a troublesome convict resurfacing from his past, Bergerac is required to call on his sharp investigative instincts and past successes to navigate the intricate family dynamics, and watchful eyes of the police force, in order to solve the case.
