TKKG 184. The eternal darkness

Tim, Gaby, Karl and dumplings were hoping just before Christmas to a cozy movie night. But a complete power failure puts the entire city lame, neither street lighting nor the alarm systems of the city or the households are supplied with electricity. The next day assessment will be made: Although you can not explain why the power failure suddenly, but some crooks have taken advantage of the opportunity

It goes up to Christmas, and this issue is also taken up again and again in various radio plays. The 184th episode of TKKG plays in the middle of December, but rather reflective to bake cookies must detective quartet again solve a criminal case and is not so bad and told one of the better episodes of late. The lack of quality that some fans predecessors accused was met here with a successful history guide and a good utilization of the individual characters. Just four main characters appear credible and not so covered, almost self-caricature depicted. Tim is not unbeatable superhero, Gaby is not just the girl without independent properties. The darkness in the city is well used to create an eerie atmosphere, some of the scenes are really scary and exciting. Also the course of history is liquid and comes in large part from without the bloat. A maximum score is prevented by some elements that just do not want to fit and tarnish the credibility arg. That provided in such a large city just for banks during a power failure no electricity for alarm systems available, for example. Some topics have been processed too much, the action acts in some places to overcharge something. But a significant increase in the series can be seen, has arisen a round and a successful result.

Wolfgang Draeger has once again sound here a somewhat larger appearance as commissioner Glockner and may very warm, but sometimes hervorkehren his somewhat stricter page. As a guest speaker can be heard among others Hein Lieven as Karl-Walter important man who fits well into the atmosphere of the story and provide good his character knows. Rüdiger Also Schulski which occurred already in other episodes of the series can, as Leopold Odenhafer deliver a convincing performance. Other speakers include Henry King, Robert and Alexander Steudtner Mettin.

From cozy Christmas music is of course nothing to hear, for some appropriate and polyphonic tones have been selected to provide the right atmosphere to history some of which are already known from other productions. But there are the different sounds that have been used here efficiently and well placed to implement the eerie mood of some scenes.

The design with the newspaper clippings, has been used for several episodes and also here does not lose its effect, and the track list on the back part of this, and at the same time relaxes the design on. The cover picture shows the dark city and acts pretty scary, thus attacking the mood of the plot on. The places lighting of moon and torch work well here.

Conclusion: Although some elements act covered or implausible, overall good and positive to be evaluated result has emerged. The course is fluid and entertaining, many scenes are exciting and make the characters in a light in which they can work well. Here it is shown, what else can put anything in the series.
