Kiel Tatort introduces new investigative duo in two-part special

The Kiel-based crime series ‘Tatort’ has entered a new era following the departure of Axel Milberg. The transition is marked by a two-part special titled ‘Unter Freunden’ and ‘Unter Feinden’, directed by Lars Kraume.

The new investigative duo features Mila Sahin (Almila Bagriacik) and police psychologist Elli Krieger (Karoline Schuch). The plot involves a complex investigation into the mysterious death of a young woman, leading the team to uncover corruption, money laundering, and organized crime within a high-tech company known as Prometheus AG.

Viewer reactions to the premiere have been mixed. While the episodes drew over seven million viewers, some audience members criticized the pacing and plot density, with some online polls showing significant dissatisfaction. However, others praised the tension and acting performances.
