Murder Up North (eps. 1)

screenable online

Welcome to Sylt, an idyllic North Sea island that seems to have been created just for tourism. Yet is it the frequency of violent storms that encourages people to dispatch their enemies into the sea? The Homicide Department is headed by Inspector Theo Clüver, who deploys a great deal of patience and psychological sensitivity to nail his criminals. Adding some much appreciated harmony to his life are Theo's devoted and rough-hewn team members such as the self-assured Ina, and the new profiler Hinnerk.
