Season 2

Polizeiruf 110 (1972), Season 2 is a GDR crime series you can watch online on iFILM, nine episodes that settle the show into the shape it would keep for decades. A year after the premiere, the format is fixed: one case per episode.

There is no overarching plot to follow. Instead you get nine self-contained investigations — a body found in a stream, a case turning on blood type AB, a suspect leaning on a thin alibi — with titles like "The Mask" and "Burned Trace" that tell you the mood before a word is spoken. The detective works each one slowly, through witness statements and gaps in a story, the patient register seventies East German television preferred. This run feels steadier than the first. Good for anyone who likes their mysteries old-school and unhurried. Stream Polizeiruf 110 Season 2 online on iFILM.
