Ex-con mother thinks she knows best

-

Those expecting a slice of Scandi darkness might feel a little cheated here, as this is actually set on an island in the Baltic Sea that is half German and half Polish. Usedom is the setting for this suitably gloomy fivepart German series focusing on local chief inspector Julia (Lisa Maria Potthoff), who is investigat­ing a fatal car accident from several years previously that may not be quite what it seemed. Matters are complicate­d by the unwelcome return of Julia’s former district attorney mother Karin (Katrin Sass, above with Potthoff) – she’s been in prison for six years for shooting her husband after finding him with a younger lover. And then she starts to interfere in her daughter’s investigat­ion. Walter Presents/All4, available now
