Mord mit Aussicht (Murder with a View) is a German satirical crime comedy television series, produced by Pro TV Produktion GmbH and broadcast on Das Erste.
In December 2015, a TV film, Ein Mord mit Aussicht was released after the series ended due to the departure of Bjarne Mädel who plays Dietmar Schäffer.
[1] The series follows the adventures of Sophie Haas (played by Caroline Peters), a detective from the city of Köln who had to take a job in the fictional country village of Hengasch (in German this sounds like "hanging butt") in district Liebernich ("rather not"), in the Eifel.
[4][5] Schäffer and his wife Heike find out that their son Kevin is highly gifted and want to send him to a special boarding school for which he got a scholarship because of that.
[6] In the series finale, Sophie Haas gets called to Cologne by the superior who relocated her to Hengasch, to end the hostage of an Asian black bear.
In order not to leave Hannes alone, Sophie cancels her promotion and gets back to Hengasch and as well hires the Polish nurse Danuta to take care of him.
The wedding fails anyway, as the registrar is no one other than the jewel thief known as “Marilyn” whom Sophie hasn’t been able to catch twice before — and she escapes this time, too.
The mayor Hans Zwanziger murders his intern Ines because she wanted to blackmail him into getting her a job in Berlin because she knew of an illegal building permission.
Meanwhile Bärbel and Dietmar also arrive there as he has been shot dead, but also the village‘s police who find Sophie with the crime weapon.
