Ballauf - 34 - Pechmarie
"Gas on!" is the unmistakable command. When the medical examiner Dr. Joseph Roth is about to leave the crime scene when he feels the barrel of a pistol on his temple. The man in the back seat of his car means business. Two masked men had robbed and shot a jeweler in the parking lot of a luxury hotel in Cologne. One of the two perpetrators is now in Roth's car. At this point, inspectors Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk had no idea that their colleague was kidnapped. They are already achieving their first search successes. The couple Heiner Wolff and Marie Menke are urgent suspects. On the video of the hotel's surveillance camera, the youngReceptionist Julia Hirsch recognized her two vacation friends. She had casually told them about the regular guest with the valuable luggage.
Are the stolen gems already in circulation? Ballauf and Schenk listen to the fence scene and investigate the suspects' surroundings. They meet Marie's older sister Sophie Menke, a professional musician who has just returned from a long stay in the USA. But there was radio silence between the two sisters for years. And a former friend, the acting teacher Christof Rüter, also explains that he hasn't seen Marie for a long time. A woman's body is found in the Rhine...

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

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.
