The Undertaker (2013– )
9/10
Singular and thrilling edutainment from a country not known for crime series
2 October 2023
/refers to Seasons 1-6/

Apart from general aspects of policing, this Series provides information how is the process of handling corpses in Switzerland, paving the way for the courses of events and enabling an undertaker to take an interest in crimes and mostly assisting the police, not hindering them. True, the depiction is not always smooth and the cases not too catchy, but Switzerland is a safe country and Aargau is hardly a place of serious crime... I am sure that the frequency of crimes depicted is bigger anyway :)

The real gem of this Series are characters and performances (previously unknown persons to me), particularly in the Luc Conrad´s office (policemen are more conventional). Mike Müller, Reto Stalder, Suly Röthlisberger - all seemingly great character actors. Their interaction creats giggling moments, but their attitude towards the deceased is always respectable.

Otherwise 8 points, but 9 points due to its country of origin. And I am looking forward to further seasons.
