Season 42

Polizeiruf 110 (2013), Season 42 is a German crime drama to watch online on iFILM — eight episodes, and as ever each one wraps a single case with no arc running between them.

Much of this run grows out of the coast and the people on it. A feud between German and Polish fishermen over the best waters ends with an old man dead, and Bukow and König have to untangle years of bad blood, not just a motive. Later, a girl who barely survived an attack leads them to the body of a murdered young woman. Season 42 keeps asking less about who did it than about how things came to this.

Baltic atmosphere, thin grey light, talk that matters more than gunfire. It lands with viewers who watch detective stories for the people and their guilt rather than the action. Stream Polizeiruf 110 Season 42 online on iFILM.
