Tagline: An adventure with Justus, Peter and Bob in the midst of legendary scenery of Yosemite National Park - how exciting! The fact that the three fictional west coast residents in the most well-known natural reservoir of the world far away from tourist crowds determine, in the series frame is quite conceivable and justifiable. Kari Erlhoffs script excites you in many ways from the boundaries of the traditional series. "Good is bluffing semi-determined" is the credo of the episode, which leads that the investigative work then unfortunately but comes a little short. Instead served Erlhoff primarily reichtlich action scenes. Dangerous weapons are used, helicopters are sent in risky rescue operations. Similar TKKG while two cases are presented and solved in a within the Time. The solution of the first case is guessed quickly, whereas the second is being unwound too quickly. Pity, because the character constellations around a burnout patient and a National Park Ranger are interesting and attractive in itself, but puzzling elements such as Steven Finn obscure facets nerves in the long run rather than to arouse suspense until the end, so that in the final a large dose disappointment resonates. It happened in spite of everything a lot and the three detectives from Rocky Beach are often located in more adventurous movement, so that the voltage curve on the one hand remains moderate, the entertainment factor but on the other hand is quite high, especially since Bill Andrews, Bob's father, now enters into manifestation again and his appearance makes a neat figure.
Speaker: Henry King shines vocally namely a lively and interested way, which fits entirely on the image of professional journalists Andrews. Also Marek Harloff convinced as Randy Chase. It shall adopt its friendly, outgoing and youthful appearance refreshing for the radio play. Detlef Bierstedt seems initially competent in the role of the Rangers Thorton, falls over time, however, in an unbalanced, infuriated, incredible-like and turned anti-attitude, which gives too attached impression. Otherwise, the interaction of the speaker casts, which seems balanced by Katja Brügger about Birte Kretschmer to Angela Roy and Volker Bogdan and harmoniously succeeds. Only Robert Steudtner falls as Burnout patient Steven Finn a little out of line, the director plays an important role. And of course may not be missing Andreas Fröhlich, Oliver Rohrbeck and Jens Wawrczeck, the present has always been, on the whole solid performances.
Music and effects: Hella von der Osten-Sacken, who presents the series sounds, and André Minninger have to assume responsibility for the effects at the start of the radio play most of the work. A helicopter use would be configured credible what quite successful, since without excessive volume, the rotor is, however, noticeably audible. Otherwise, it is by no means a simple matter to accompany hikers in Yosemite National Park, but turn out to Vogelkrächzen as well as the click used here and there as a sign of climbing as suitable instruments. Musically there are the three ??? evident in the course of modernization. More and more occur guitar melodies and drum rhythms to the fore, which fit into the overall picture excellent.
Conclusion: The framework for an entertaining Die drei ??? - a result so far is given in the shadow of giants. However, for the big jump in the series sky lacks the details: exaggerations with dramatically important characters and the lack of investigation and detective work übertünschen a significant portion the otherwise entertaining story in beautiful settings. The bottom line is the bottom line is then again: more modesty and classic investigators mind, please - then returns the nearly 35-year-old series back to hopeful and ausnhamslos quality rich tracks.
