When we saw the trailer on social media Miss Merkel we thought it was a joke, a parody along the lines of the fake fiction proposed by Emanuela Fanelli to A patch of Lundini but also those of the The Jackal who, years ago, made a video in which Don Matteo looked like Batman. Instead it’s all true: the German writer David Safier has, in fact, decided to transform the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel in an investigator, and to make her the protagonist of an unusual miniseries called, precisely, Miss Merkelwhich Rai2 will broadcast in prime time on July 12. The plot is quickly said: after leaving the leadership of Germany in 2021, Angela Merkel enjoys solving murder cases to fight boredom like a modern Jessica Fletcher.
It certainly can’t be said that Germans don’t have a sense of humor, considering that Miss Merkel It is a curious experiment that plays with a central figure not only in German but also international politics, making her the protagonist of an unusual thriller with the actress Katharina Thalbach in the role of the former leader – in fact, Thalbach had already played Merkel in the 2013 film The Minister. In the first episode, Death at the Castlethe former chancellor, finally retired, she moves to the small village of Freudenstadt in northern Germany, where she leads a quiet life with her husband Joachim (Thorsten Merten), her faithful dog Putin (how mischievous) and her bodyguard Mike (Tim Kalkhof).
Invited to a party, Miss Merkel finds herself having to solve a murderbanking on his wit and his ingenuity. Another episode of the series was also made, Murder in the cemeterywhich Italy will broadcast on July 19th even though in Germany it saw the light a year after the first. “I’ve been successful in politics, why can’t I have that as a detective?” is the launch slogan of the series, and we can say that, regardless of the reception that Miss Merkel will receive, it is still a relief to note how you can joke about everything. While fully respecting the person directly concerned.
