Review

This extremely popular German-Austrian crime series premiered in November 1994 and is still running successfully today--despite having to change its lead actor three times. In the beginning this role was played by Tobias Moretti, a guy whose excellent portrayal of “Richard Moser” earned him a Bavarian TV Award as well as a Golden Lion, but after a few episodes in the fourth season Moretti was replaced by Gedeon Burkhardt. Most recently the part was handed to Elke Winkens.

The initial story centered on police officer Richard Moser and his perfectly educated dog Rex (whom he once saved during a rooftop shootout). Since then they have been an inseparable team that is sure to solve any crime that comes along.

Nudity Report: Every now and then there’s a little bit of skin from supporting actresses (including occasional full frontal nudity), but the highlight up to now was provided by the new leading lady Elke Winkens who celebrated her entry to this series with a nice (though dimly lit) topless scene.
