Another eminently watchable, well crafted Tatort from Bavaria Film and the worthy Munich Kommisars played by Messrs. Nemec, Wachtveitl and Fitz. Not outstanding when compared with some of the other Munich Tatorts, but a good solid story where a pharmacist is found murdered and the investigation leads in unexpected directions.
The real pleasure of this Tatort is the appearance together of actors Eva Pflug and Dietmar Schönherr, who played the leads in the cult German sixties sci-fi series 'Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion'. I've not seen this mentioned anywhere else on the Web, but the observant viewer can see a subtly placed homage to that series in the form of a re-run being shown on one of the televisions flickering away in the background of the old people's home where much of the action is set. After all, Bavaria Film made both 'Orion' and 'Nicht jugendfrei', so why not?
