Crime scene Criticism: Is it worth turning on « Rapunzel »?

Our crime scene critic Sarah Ritschel has already been in her column busy with the new Zurich crime scene. According to Ritschel, the new crime scene episode try to focus on socially relevant topics such as global real hair trade and religious regulations. Despite interesting approaches, however, the implementation falter in places. The multitude of narrative strands would make it difficult to recognize a clear focus.

The focus is on a company that receives hair from religious offerings in India and produces wigs from it. Even if the topic is unusual and realistic, the episode does not succeed in forming a stringent story. Again and again the main story would be supplemented by secondary locations. « Rapunzel » also patrons the area of ​​tension in religious norms, for example in relation to Orthodox Jewish women, whose wigs must meet certain religious regulations. This aspect would have offered space for in -depth social conflict, but is only torn down.

The result also fluctuates stylistically: sometimes they approach the topic with seriousness, sometimes with oversubscribed dialogues that commute between irony and clichés. Individual scenes would even comment on the overload of history, which is supposed to have a self -reflective effect, but rather refer to structural weaknesses. Finally, an episode remains that tears many relevant questions, but does not consistently continue. According to Sarah Ritschel, the approaches are original, but a clearer dramaturgy and stronger focusing would have given the case more depth.
