Season 16

Tatort (1970), Season 16 — twelve episodes from 1985, watch online on iFILM. The long-running German procedural rotates investigators and cities, letting each case stand entirely on its own.

Schimanski is back and in trouble more than once. One investigation starts with a woman found dead outside her apartment block — suicide on the surface, something murkier underneath once her ties to a religious community come to light. Another pulls him into a missing-person search that turns genuinely dangerous. Sixteen seasons in, the formula still works precisely because it does not feel like a formula.
