Nord Nord Mord is a 2011 German crime film series produced by ZDF. From 2011 until 2018, Robert Atzorn played the role of Chief Inspector Theo Clüver in the first eight episodes. His successor was Peter Heinrich Brix as Commissioner Carl Sievers.[1]
Plot
[edit]At the Sylt detective agency, the edgy chief inspector Theo Clüver is more inclined to solve cases with empathy, patience and instinct rather than using modern investigative methods. His colleague, Ina Behrendsen, approaches the cases objectively, austerely and without emotion, while Hinnerk Feldmann, who comes from the Baltic Sea, stands out with his know-it-all attitude.
After Clüver's (Atzorn's) retirement, his position was taken over by the rather reserved and uncommunicative chief inspector Carl Sievers, who was transferred from Kiel to Sylt and combines a professional approach with an alert mind. However, he seems to be also carrying a health burden.
Cast
[edit]Leading actor Robert Atzorn left the series at his own request after the eighth episode, Clüver und der leise Tod. His successor was Peter Heinrich Brix.[2]

Reception
[edit]In the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the journalist Michael Hanfeld judged the film series on December 20, 2021 (the 16th episode's first broadcast) as exemplary for the television films shown on German public television. The films in the series predominantly gave the impression of “a crime series in the Rosamunde Pilcher style, full of clichés, predictable in plot and character development, with subtle dialogue jokes and a soft pop soundtrack [...], a classic example of the solid television film escapism that is in the program of ARD and ZDF plays a major role.”[26]
Running gags
[edit]In addition to humorous elements of the series, a running gag is that the photo collection of suspects (used in order to find the complete picture) is not stuck on a board, but stuck directly on the wall on the green screen and written on. After the case is solved, the wall can be seen being repainted.
