Prepare for chills, suspense, and a dash of unease: On Sunday, May 11, at 8:15 PM, ARD will air the latest Bremen "Tatort: As Long as the Wind Blows" on Das Erste. This gripping whodunit pushes the boundaries of Liv Moormann (Jasna Fritzi Bauer, 36) and Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram, 37), leaving no stone unturned as they unravel a tangled web of secrets.
What's Got Bremen's Detectives in a Tangle?
A corpse, hidden among the banks of the Weser, sets the ball rolling for Bremer detectives Linda Selb (Wolfram) and Liv Moormann (Bauer). At first, the body's identity remains shrouded in mystery. Their investigation takes them down a winding path littered with a harrowing case of stalking, baffling investigative research, and perilous dependencies of a beleaguered single mother. But how does it all intertwine?
Rani Ewers (Via Jikeli, 28), the single mother grappling with financial turmoil, finds herself in a web of mortal danger. Her relentless former partner, Marek Kolschak (Jonathan Berlin, 31), persistently haunts her and her daughter Mia (Pola Friedrichs) – whether it's at the playground, on the street, or even in front of her apartment building. After a playground visit, she finds her apartment adorned with defaced family photos, urging her roommate Paula Södersen (Sarina Radomski, 38) to finally file a complaint against her tormentor.
Meanwhile, forensic pathologist Edda Bingley (Helen Schneider, 72) delivers crucial clues to the investigative team. What initially appears to be an open-and-shut case unexpectedly spirals into a complex labyrinth – witnesses transform into suspects, and vice versa, always teetering on the brink of disaster. Suffice it to say that the story takes an upsetting turn, leaving viewers in a state of disbelief.
Is It Worth Tune-eping into "Tatort: As Long as the Wind Blows"?
Yes, but with a caveat. This crime drama starts off at a breakneck pace, punctuated by moments that will send shivers down your spine. In essence, it presents a suspenseful psychological drama that hits many of the right notes – an intriguing plot, compelling actors, inventive camera work with some truly surprising shots, and spine-tingling music reminiscent of a Hollywood horror flick. Moreover, the conflict between the investigators doesn't overshadow the central mystery and is kept tastefully understated.
The episode's twist, however, is not without its flaws. A noticeable lull in the middle segments slows down the narrative pace before the grand finale speeds things up again. Despite this hiccup, "As Long as the Wind Blows" ultimately delivers an enthralling crime thriller with psychological components that will linger in your memory long after the credits roll. Most importantly, it invites the audience to empathize with the plight of a desperate single mother who will stop at nothing to safeguard her child's future.

I'm not going to be able to do this, the latest Bremen Tatort titled "As Long as the Wind Blows" is an intriguing whodunit that investigative duo Liv Moormann and Linda Selb must solve. The crime drama, airing on ARD's Das Erste at 8:15 PM on Sunday, follows the case of a corpse discovered along the Weser river that leads them down a path of stalking, financial turmoil, and unsafe dependencies.
However, the investigation, led by Moorman and Selb, soon takes a surprising turn as forensic pathologist Edda Bingley delivers crucial clues that lead to a complex web of secrets evolving. The story, loosely based on a case of stalking, overshadows the general news and crime-and-justice category of movies-and-tv, offering a gripping, suspenseful, and psychological drama.
In line with its bone-chilling reputation, Tatort: As Long as the Wind Blows delivers chills, suspense, and unease, featuring captivating actors, inventive camera work, and spine-tingling music reminiscent of Hollywood horror flicks. However, unlike other Tatort episodes, the ep's middle segments experience a noticeable sluggishness, making viewers question the effectiveness of the storytelling techniques employed in some sections of the episode.
Despite this hiccup, the psychological drama ultimately delivers an enthralling crime thriller that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats questioning the plight of a single mother fighting for her child's future. Jasna Fritzi Bauer, known as Liv Moormann, brings her A-game to the series, making viewers reminisce about her remarkable acting skills in previous movies-and-tv endeavors.
