Overview

  • The new Rostock case aired Sunday at 20:15 on Das Erste, reuniting investigators Katrin König and Melly Böwe.
  • The story centers on youths steered toward violence or self-harm after a terse message, with teacher Felix Lange under suspicion and an online persona called Wintersonne emerging in the probe.
  • Reviewers describe an unusually somber tone and dense plotting, highlighting Lina Beckmann and Sebastian Jakob Doppelbauer along with atmospheric direction by Max Gleschinski.
  • Coverage links the fictional premise to real reporting on the 'White Tiger' affair and notes debates over how German law addresses online incitement to suicide.
  • The episode advances ongoing character threads, including Böwe’s family history, as ARD’s Sunday slot stays strong following a Dresden Tatort that drew 8.16 million viewers and a 31.9% share.
