Derrick (1974-1996)

Cram-jam the passive, pensive approach to solving crimes in Murder She Wrote, intersect it with the 70s hit, Kojak, and you’ve reached one of Germany’s longest running cop dramas, Derrick.  Having aired for nearly 20 years this hard(ly) fought cop drama about a detective who opts to solve crimes using his wits and less with wielded sidearm, follows Stephan Derrick and his assistant Harry Klein, cleaning the Munich streets of murders.   

Oh! And there’s titties!  Lara-Joy Kroner and Christina Plate show there’s just some things you do need to unload a round or two from your pocket pistol at.
