Storyline

Stephan Derrick is a chief inspector with the Munich police. Along with his assistant Harry Klein, he has to solve murder cases. This show is based more on psychological methods to find out who the murderer was than on action scenes or car chases. Derrick prefers to talk to people and learn more about their personalities. The phone is therefore a very important instrument to him. Written by Peter W. Simeon <simeon@imdb.com>

Where can you watch Derrick with English subtitles
21 June 2020 | by sipa-83353 – See all my reviews

This was one of our favorite TV shows as a kid in South Africa where it was dubbed into Afrikaans. Alas I cannot find these on the internet but are there any version of Derrick with English subtitles available anywhere. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks
