Overview
- ZDF’s November 23 episode drew about 4.75 million viewers, far behind the concurrently aired ‘Tatort’ at roughly 8.37 million, according to AGF figures cited by industry outlets.
- Social-media reactions skewed negative, with complaints about clunky dialogue, the crew teambuilding storyline, and a Haka sequence many viewers called disrespectful.
- Fitness influencer Sophia Thiel’s guest turn as a travel influencer drew pointed criticism of her performance from commenters.
- ZDF explained differing name credits for Collien Ulmen-Fernandes/Fernandes in the Mediathek as a production-timing issue following her separation, with some episodes finished before the change.
- Two further completed installments remain on the schedule: Bora Bora on December 26 and Madikwe on New Year’s Day, with earlier Mediathek availability noted in coverage.
