Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime fans.
The mood: Gritty.
The pace: 7 seasons and 40 episodes: a long-haul commitment, hour-long episodes, about 40 hours in all.
What might put you off: A big time investment at 7 seasons.
It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

A detective leaves the force to take over the family business as an undertaker at the same time as he is being investigated for murder. His close encounters with corpses and his earlier police training lead him to see things some of his ex-colleagues miss and he investigates the crimes he encounters in an unofficial capacity often to the dismay of the official police.
