Although it sounds like it, The Dead of Marnow is not a conventional public broadcast crime thriller. It is one sophisticated and atmospherically dense thriller serieswhich no less than 19 million people watched the first season last year. At Moviepilot the community gives it a rating of 7 out of 10, which is a big concession for German series.
You can watch season 1 free of charge and without advertising in the ARD media library and, since November 29th, also from the entire second season at once convince.
That’s what the thriller series The Dead of Marnow is about
In Season 1 we followed the heated and sultry serial killer investigations of Lona Mendt (Petra Schmidt-Schaller) and Frank Elling (Sascha Alexander Gersak). At that time we were in the hot summer on the Mecklenburg Lake District, where terrible truths about GDR pharmaceutical companies were unearthed.
In Season 2 it gets icy. Commissioner Mendt and Commissioner Elling are once again the focus, but differently than expected. The second season of the hit series has the full title Dark Heart – The Dead of Marnow 2 and pursues an ambitious narrative style. Andreas Herzog (Tatort) is again directing.
In contrast to the first season, we find out early on what the core is about. It’s about human trafficking. However, the investigation is drastically disrupted when our two inspectors fall into a coma in episode 1. Two new investigators are needed, in the form of Maja Kaminski (Sabrina Amali) and Hagen Dudek (Bernhard Conrad), but all previous records of the case have strangely been deleted. On two different time levels we see the past discoveries of Mendt and Elling, and the current investigations of the new ones.
Then The Dead of Marnow Season 2 is on TV
The 6 episodes will be broadcast on ARD in two blocks in December:
ARD has a thriller run: At the beginning of October, ARD showed Herrhausen – The Lord of the Money, a really strong in-house thriller production. We reported on why the snappy political thriller is worth it. By the way, Herrhausen also received a 7 out of 10 from the Moviepilot community.
There are high hopes that season 2 of The Dead of Marnow can maintain the quality of the first season from 2021 – and you can see for yourself in the ARD media library. All 6 episodes of season 2 are waiting for you there.
