Tatort is German officialdom with rare, clumsy action scenes. This Sunday the series could once again prove the opposite: it sounds like the authors have watched too much The Matrix or Black Mirror. Inspector Felix Murot (Ulrich Tukur) loses his belly button in Tatort: Murot and Paradise.
Matrix and Black Mirror as a crime scene: What happens in the new Felix Murot case?
Murot suffers from depression, which he tries to overcome with the help of his analyst. Then a bizarre case falls at his feet: two corpses appear in the Frankfurt banking world, which have surgically created ports instead of belly buttons and can be fed artificially via an umbilical cord connection.

Ulrich Tukur as Felix Murot
Murot delves into the investigation until one morning the same fate seems to befall him: He suddenly no longer has a belly button. The trail leads him into a dark underworld dominated by a unique idea of happiness.
The premise of Tatort: Murot and Paradise will appeal to some viewers Black Mirror nightmares or the machine-bred people from The Matrix let think. Many will welcome the wild story. Less official stuff, more body horror.
When is the new Tatort episode on TV?
Crime Scene: Murot and Paradise is on tomorrow, Sunday, October 22, 2023, at 8:15 p.m. on ARD. As a rule, the latest episode of the crime series is also available in the ARD media library by the end of the broadcast at the latest.
