The German-Czech crime mini-series ‘Hvězdná hodina vrahů’ (Starry Hour of Killers) debuted on Czech Television. Set in Prague during the spring of 1945, the four-part drama follows investigator Jan Morava as he investigates murders during the final weeks of the Nazi occupation. The series, based on a novel by Pavel Kohout, initially secured a 20.32% viewership share among audiences aged 15 and older.
