Bearcat Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 There was a detective show I used to watch here in the US that came on PBS I think it was.. and I think it was German.. maybe Dutch but I cannot remember the name at all. The main characters were a team and one was a big guy that wore a black leather jacket and he looked to be in his 40s .. and if I remember correctly his partner was a little younger maybe and a better dresser.. but the show was very good.. Does this ring any bells with any of you guys..?
Uufflakke Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 It doesn't ring a bell to be honest. The German detective (Deutscher Krimi) and the Dutch ones (Nederlandse Politieserie) are mainly about an inspector and his assistent trying to solve a murder. Usually the inspector is the oldest and wears a hat and a long coat, the younger one a leather jacket and jeans. These are the standard ingredients of our detectives. Dutch detectives take place in Amsterdam most of the times. Maybe the titles below will help you out. Some German detectives: Derrick Der Alte Der Kommissar Schimanski Tatort Siska Commissaris Rex Some Dutch detectives: Grijpstra en de Gier Baantjer Flikken
MiloMorai Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 These are Swedish shows with the first one being on TV (not sure if PBS or BBC) Wallander Beck The Bridge
Bearcat Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 I looked them up .. none of them were the show I am thinking of.. but thanks for trying guys.. Wallander is pretty good .. I like that .. but it isn't the one I am thinking of.. I know this may sound kind of silly to some of you .. but I am trying to remember this show and I can't .. so to me it just seemed like a simple enough thing to ask someone who may know what I am talking about..
csThor Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Hmmm ... the only german format I know of that may fit the story is "Der letzte Bulle" ("The last Cop"). Was it this guy?
=IRFC=Jorri Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Man in his 40's wearing a leather jacket? Has to be German.
Bearcat Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 The thing is it was a great show... that is why I am trying to remember it.. and no Thor... the guy was bigger.. and older.. and he had a partner..
Laser Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Maybe the name / action setting was 'dutch' ... Like this: Edited July 3, 2013 by Laser
Bearcat Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 Nope not it either.. I am stumped.... the guy was in his late 40s early 50s and stockier..
SYN_Vander Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 This is from " Tatort" series. Multiple actors have played in this series, many wearing black leather jackets http://tatort-fans.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/tatort-machtlos-2.jpg
Lord_Haw-Haw Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Might it be the series "Kottan ermittelt" it ran in Germany from 1976 to about 1984 But that is not a German series but a Austrian one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoJS9FODRyk&feature=player_embedded
Bearcat Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 So far none of those guys look familiar.. One day it will hit me..
Rjel Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 This site is great if you've never used it. If you can remember a character's name or almost anyone listed from the credits this site might pop it up. http://www.imdb.com/
Bearcat Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah thanks.. I have that site bookmarked already.. I use it quite a bit.. That was the first place I looked..
352nd_Wheels Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 You positive it wasn't this one Bearcat. http://youtu.be/y-S2p-cF-Aw Wheels
