Totgelacht
Bei einem Comedy Contest fällt der aufstrebende Comedian und hauptberufliche Taxifahrer Sebastian Lennartz tot um. Die Obduktion ergibt, dass er mit einem Herzmittel vergiftet wurde.
Die SOKO findet heraus, dass Lennartz ein besonderes Herzleiden hatte und nur deswegen der Giftanschlag tödlich für ihn endete. Mordmotive gibt es zuhauf, denn die Konkurrenz war groß und der Comedy-Preis begehrt. Doch wer wusste um Lennartz' gesundheitlichen Zustand?
Die SOKO-Kommissare nehmen die Ermittlungen im Comedy-Geschäft rund um den Wettbewerb auf: Offensichtlich konnte sich Comedy-Veteran Christoph Papandopolus nur Chancen auf den Sieg beim Contest ausrechnen, wenn Sebastian Lennartz ihm nicht mehr im Weg stand. Doch würde er für Ruhm und Ehre über Leichen gehen?
Dann gerät Comedy-Agent Karlheinz Krone ins Visier der Ermittler. Der Organisator des Comedy Contest praktiziert SM und hält das vor seiner Frau streng geheim. (Text: ZDF)
If you’re a fan of crime dramas that delve into the intricate workings of police investigations, then "SOKO 5113" is a series you cannot afford to miss. Originating from Germany, this captivating show has been on air since January 2, 1978, and remains one of the longest-running series in its genre. With an impressive run of 46 seasons and over 683 episodes, "SOKO 5113" stands as a monumental testament to well-crafted storytelling and character development.
Set against the backdrop of Munich’s bustling cityscape, SOKO 5113 presents viewers with a realistic portrayal of criminal investigations devoid of exaggerated portrayals often seen in similar shows. The series title refers to the extension telephone number used by the head of SOKO, which adds an authentic touch to its depiction of police work. Inspired by Dieter Schenk’s real-life experiences as a crime director, who later penned these recollections into a novel titled "Der Durchläufer", this show brings genuine grit to its narratives.
Season 1 kicks off with an enthralling plot where KHK Karl Göttmann (played by Werner Kreindl) leads his team through a maze of thefts involving high-end cars and emerging drug market activities. The pilot episode introduces viewers to a complex web where crimes intertwine, leading Göttmann and his team onto paths lined with danger and deception. Each episode builds upon this foundation, unraveling mysteries layer by layer while keeping audiences at the edge of their seats.
