Mountain Murders: Season 03
The entertaining criminal cases of a mismatched pair of detectives in a picturesque idyll: charismatic Jerry Paulsen from Hamburg's State Criminal Police Office deploys to an Alpine small town, sparking conflict with local Chief Inspector Benedikt Beissl—professionally and privately, as Jerry dates Beissl's daughter.
Beissl has long run his Berchtesgaden station solo until assigned this charming, talkative, mixed-race son of a German mother and American GI. What irks Beissl most is Jerry wooing Johanna, making him near son-in-law—the "wannabe Obama" grates with his ways. On cases, private tensions mostly stay sidelined; they're composed pros, not cool cops. Beissl shields family from the world, but crimes invade idyllic Berchtesgaden. Wife Elisabeth and journalist daughter Johanna understand, relying on each other—and newcomers like Jerry.
Blending humor, family ties, and varied crimes against majestic Alps, this series delivers prime police entertainment. Its German early evening premiere drew three million viewers.
