Acting
Hannes Jaenicke's tortured pathologist energy is deliciously overwrought.
Production
Bleach-sterile morgue aesthetics before every show looked identical.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
RTL rushed this into production to capitalize on CSI's European boom, then buried it when ratings disappointed. Classic network panic.
Post Mortem represents Germany's awkward transition from Tatort-style whodunits to glossy forensics porn—neither fish nor fowl, fascinatingly dated.
