All in all a decent start in a new children's series

The label The radio playwrights published with "Young Detectives and the devil figure" the first radio play of his young history. And the result is a nice, child equitable criminal case from the tranquil Eschwege in Hesse.
The main characters are the brothers Robert and Emma. As the night Robert thinks he sees a horrible shape and a aufflackerndes light near the Nicolai tower, the siblings to pursue these puzzles decide. And when even the Türmerin the resort will be met the devil, the curiosity of children increases immeasurably. In shallow and age-appropriate way, the brothers embark on the search for the mysterious person who hangs out at night in the dark Eschwege.
To kick off the series, the radio play is very good. Even with the implementation of the cover come memories of children and youth radio plays from the 80's á la The Magnificent Seven black. The type of graphic representation is therefore - perhaps somewhat unconsciously - already leading the way in terms of the nature and content of the setting, shallow and slightly retro.
With Jannik end man and Theresa Underberg could the radio playwrights two now win through their roles in the European radio plays renowned young spokesman, the two figures also breathe the authentic life. An additional speakers include January Reinhartz, Wolf Frass, Horst Janson, Helmut Weinzierl and Gabriele Libbach of the party. The performance of the speakers are all very neat. Only Gabriele Libbach as a mother looks at various places to set up and overemphasized. This stiffness they should make sure to put off the next episode, then the warmth, concern and affection of a mother put towards their children better.
One negative in the setting is not available in the occupation of the narrator. Even if you could win a well-known from film and television Eschweger Lokalpatriotin for this role with Rita Russek, thus says this emphasizes their part too slow and exaggerated. Atmospheric she seems so often unfortunately preclude building up tension. Here you should think about the part of the makers may even have a different narrative orientation for women Russek. Versatile actress certainly will be. And so perhaps it may lead to a better way then by the coming episodes.
The atmospheric backing with sound is solid. It is limited to the essential sounds to atmospheric not unreasonably overloading the story. It is the same with music. These are comfortable and arrange themselves thought the overall picture of the first case of the young detectives under.
All in all a decent start in a new children's series that are to detect their orientation with respect to the target group clearly and for the future in some places still has development potential.
