Season 17

Scene of the Crime (Tatort, 1970), Season 17 — watch all twelve 1986 episodes online on iFILM. Every season of this German procedural keeps its structure simple: new case, new city, a different detective doing the work.

This year Schimanski carries three full stories. One hinges on a child's safety — the kind of case where the commissioner cannot afford a single mistake. A second opens with the head of a family furniture business dead, and the family turns out to be complicated. The third closes the season by pointing at the man who may be running an entire criminal operation. Three Schimanski cases in one run makes Season 17 one of the denser stretches of Tatort on record.
