Overview

• Das Erste schedules the adaptation for October 2 and 3 at 20:15, positioning it as consecutive prime-time event television.
• The story opens with a woman found dead after a single-person cooking course, and early crimes appear unrelated to one another.
• New leads point back to a teenager’s brutal assault ten years earlier, with Caleb Hale previously on the case and Pamela Graybourne now overseeing Kate Linville.
• A recurring subplot involves the death of an elderly woman and the disappearance of her caregiver, Mila Henderson.
• The production uses a male narrator to convey the perpetrator’s inner monologues, and part one ends on a pronounced cliffhanger to drive night-two viewing.
