Northeast with swing: crime thriller restart with Commissioner Nina Hagen!

The ARD crime series "Nord near Northwest" has now sent a new branch, "North near Northeast", to the race, which celebrated its premiere on the day of German unity. The pilot film, which was broadcast in the first at 8:15 p.m., presents the main character Nina Hagen, excellently embodied by Cordelia Wegen. This development brings a breath of fresh air to the crime series, which has existed for more than a decade.

In chaos, the commissioner discovers a dead under the rubble - a dramatic start that immediately promises tension. Behind the script is Holger Karsten Schmidt, a well -known name in the crime scene, which was already responsible for the previous series.

Commissioner Nina and her team act in an isolated space here, which influences both their interpersonal relationships and their investigations. The backgrounds of the characters are also worked out richly, which makes the entire setting more credible.

The central question, however, remains whether the pilot film will continue. In this regard, Cordelia Wegen commented directly: "So far we have only made the film 'Westend'. The number of spectators decides whether it will be a series." It remains exciting, because the success of the film is now in the hand of the audience, which reflects whether this new story will continue in book form.

It remains to be seen whether the entrance is sufficient to captivate the viewers in the long term, although it is already clear that the new series is ambitious and offers a lot of space for further developments.
