Entertaining episode with some significant weaknesses

Content:
Tim, Karl, Gaby and dumplings have the modern type of scavenger hunt for herself: geocaching. With the help of a GPS device to navigate through the landscape at the Black Forest hamlet and looking for small, well-hidden doses - a nice fun! But the fun is serious, as they watch a man with motorcycle helmet, the grinds something from the field in the forest. Is this about a funeral? Already TKKG are in the middle in a mysterious case ... Who chases the black stork? And why? What about the mystical power spot on the moor all about? And why the hell is pursuing a sport airplane TKKG?

Action:
Few scenes gained so much international fame as the scene from the Hitchcock movie "North by Northwest" is hunted in the Cary Grant of a double-decker plane over a field. Undoubtedly cites author Martin Hofstetter from that very Hitchcock film, when he lets happen selbiges Karl Viernstein. This points already then, who here is this result to a large extent: the computer brain Karl, although TKKG present themselves as a unit and act together almost the entire season. In any case, the case "to the north-northwest Hexenplatz" is designed very linear. Announced in blurb geocaching, it clips only in passing. Tim, Karl, dumplings and Gaby hold without exception in the Black Forest in the hamlet where they encounter all sorts of sinister machinations. Inexplicable shots, dead black storks, coined to attack motorcyclists and drivers, necromancy, a mysterious house in the middle of nowhere and a plant Fund provide plenty of adventure and let only one conclusion: Something is not right about right. So TKKG arrive in numerous situations, the common connections only want to become uncovered. In the end there is a coherent picture, although children and young people have the presented resolution probably never guessed. It is gratifying that Tim transcended from the cowards role and again presented as a last offensive. Even Karl proves courage, making it an asset in a radio play. Tribulation bring Angsthase dumplings, which now remains completely sidelined with of stupid way, as well as the partly sharp-Gaby, earlier still the epitome of Sensibiltät and fine spirit, now more of a shadow of itself. Similarly displeases that narrator Wolfgang Kaven einspricht several thoughts of the characters rather than that they are woven into dialogues. Nevertheless, it can be seen on the basis of past episodes that Martin Hofstetter and his fellow authors back more approaching the traditional first episodes, where instead great conspiracy plots a more down to earth the case is investigated, in which the entanglements gradually emerge and then also logically explain , So an almost classic case is offered with a little spectacle - the whole is to be welcomed.

Speaker:
A rich family heiress enters "north-northwest to Hexenplatz" on. Sabine Hahn speaks the role of Theresa of Steinbach and breathed her a very level-headed and calm, mild old soul. Something more robust present themselves as Robin Brosch Kurt Fechner, Erkki Hopf as Anton Berger and Marion Martienzen as Safira, all roam the forest and provide again and again for anger for TKKG. Stephan Schad is as Commissioner Schalavsky the second time of the party at TKKG and is apparently a successor candidate for commissioner Glockner. He takes his job as an investigator in any case very seriously and will not hesitate for a long time, acts trustful and sympathetic. Among the main speakers will be demanded of all kinds in the 191st episode, especially Niki Nowotny as Karl and Sascha Draeger as Tim gasp again and again in terror or pain without turning over too much. Manou Lubowski as dumplings moves in this case strongly in the background, Rhea Harder than likely prove Gaby future like more heart. A total of more average power image on the part of the speaker.

Music and effects:
Since for the most part takes place "north-northwest to Hexenplatz" in the great outdoors, it is not surprising that birdsong and the rustle of grass and foliage make up the core of the effects. These noises are implemented in response, the action is therefore easy to follow. The engine noise of motorcycle and motorsport airplane is also designed authentic. Highlight the episode in acoustically is undoubtedly pictured on the cover prosecution of Charles by an aircraft whose descents and directional changes are designed, which is conducive in terms of drama. Musically it seems to be guided back to previous episodes, because among other things is a variation of the theme song to hear while initially at a discovery still mysterious, atmospheric sounds dominate the musical image.

Conclusion:
In many ways, "north-northwest to Hexenplatz" knows how to please. That TKKG stray example free by nature, giving as many kinds of discoveries that are interrelated or that some of them even put at risk, without being exposed to the same bomb attacks, corresponding to the series flair. Still, there are weaknesses: The characteristics of the individual protagonists are served only to a limited and mainly dumplings presented as of stupid boy. All in all, with "north-northwest to Hexenplatz" but a fun event to book, which proves that the series frame provides enough material for more adventurous episodes.
