And again it is very sad: the new ??? - MC is written to date in this case even worse than the last. I took the tape straight out of the pit and have to say that I consider this result for one of the best for a long time. And before I let me tempt you how to cancel most of the review by this sentence without time due to submit its observations, I will detail to explain why I think so. But first be said: I have I am at the last episode on the general status of ??? omitted, which is in my opinion too badly rated. If you want to read something, '' The aura of evil '' result to 173 gives enough contradict my opinion to, as well as a review of this episode. Now, we come to 174, '' Die drei ??? and the cloth of the dead ''. I've long heard no consequence that makes me such fun. '' Road of horror '' moves while at a similar level. The crucial difference in the 174 to 170 and other good effects generally lies in the plotline. 170 is a true action-blockbuster (super incidentally, no question !!). 174, however, is a healthy mix of pretty much everything that the three ??? has made so famous over the decades. A mysterious phenomenon, a mystery, action and many different locations (of course incl. Central). Sure, many will say that was smeared us lately very bad and unmotivated on bread. In comparison, but hey, you're right! Here is just different. Please do not expire in the current of the negative consequences for two poorer succession and talk to all small, which is coming! Stay objective! I feel at this MC is reminiscent of the classics of the early days, to the 70's and 80 episodes with their exciting storylines. Was that taken by mysterious demons, ghosts etc. distance in favor of a phenomenon that has quite real references that a Native American tribe actually missing: Especially noteworthy. Many of the recent episodes had titles with '' daemon '', '' Phantom '' etc. on behalf of, this was placed here shelved; a welcome change. The demons are now actually consumed for now. That of a '' phenomenon '' and suddenly a thriller about drug smuggling and fake crime (the entire investigation will be turned upside down), was brilliantly staged. The exchange between the individual sections is very well done, unlike in many other new episodes in which one can lose themselves in the action. There are also long-standing back an emotional, demanding final point that you did not expect. The closing is delayed, not stopped with the usual tea party, leave here and there gaps in the resolution of the case. Toll! Let's talk about the speaker performance. Long gone so good and dedicated speaker belongs. Admittedly, Guillermo with the southern accent sucks sometimes slightly, but the others do their work as great as I've made songs like '' character assassination '' in memory. It's great that you Till Demtröder has there again, which makes his performance as a (doomed to be taken seriously) policeman all supporting characters in the shadows. Thomas Fritsch as narrator comes something adequately recognized, because he has only two or three missions. Earlier there were generally much more. If Fritsch may speak more, he can develop sometimes. This falls narrator criticism away. Justus, Peter and Bob sound as if they had been subjected to for the last three episodes of a renovation. Fresh, lively, realistic in the reactions and emotions. Benefits the whole, as I said, the realism of the result. Slightly more police, slightly less ghosts bustle roughly. Likewise some technical design: even when the music stylistically moved within the last few episodes, so I can make a positive judgment here. Even a throwback to the old ??? - melody was installed; an enjoyable little extra. Still, compared to the past one might upload a few established pieces, as we know from dozens of episodes. Noise, etc. are as always good, because it is always better than ever, if a sequence succeeds bad. Overall, I think this 174 for a true bright spot. The three ??? neither dusty nor in freefall their strength; There are good and bad days. That has always been, throughout the 36 years. Only the most forgotten, even those who write here reviews, before doom and gloom just oozing (sorry, but it is so). The three ??? are there, and will continue as long as between true Firecracker appear. Finally, a side note: I have not read the book, of a poor presentation and then a bad script is talk. It may be that I can not judge. Without the background of the book, I think this episode in any case absolutely succeeded. Perhaps acting as a vermasseltes after book, I do not know. And because the comparison to last so well fails, I'm from the 4.5 stars, I would have forgiven, smooth 5. I am very excited and look now optimistic result to 175, the next (hopefully equally good) three-piece suit. Thank you for your interest! May it go on like this!
