Normally, Gion Mathias Cavelty is hard. But the television series "Shockwaves" based on real Swiss crime must change television expert

What can still shock you today? Is not it already boring of everything? With regard to indigenous criminal cases, Rupperswil AG's quadruple murder is bestialität and Abartigkeit probably can not be beaten, is not it? So why look at the Swiss mini-series "Schockwellen", which will be shown on Arte for the first time on July 20th and 27th (in double series from 8:15 pm)?

The drama series is based on real Swiss criminal cases. The episode "Journey Without Return", for example, revolves around the final days of the Sirius Order, whose members want to undertake their "last journey": "48 men, women and children are preparing to feed their Guru Jorge The salvation of earthly life to follow, "teasert the transmitter.

after the model of the solar templar in death

True, I remember: There were times the real case with the Solar Templars in Germany Forty-eight members committed suicide or were killed by members of the sect to "reborn after a collective death in the Sirius Star System and found a new humanity" as I read about

In fact, it captivates me Lines a first shockwave – and I look forward to the episode mentioned.

1. Scene: June 21, 1994, then solstice d & # 39; Summer! People dressed in white from top to bottom are walking in a deadlock in a meadow from the Vaud Alps, and we already doubt it: it will not be good. Among them is also the adolescent Hugo (presented by Grégoire Didelot). He listens with devotion to the words of the leader of the sect (played by the Geneva actor Carlo Brandt): "Now, feel the vibration that passes through us, now feel the vibration that frees us." Shortly after the poison is mixed in dog food and sect Ivo dog (or Ewok?) To die, like a pig from India. Thus destiny takes its course …

Especially the theatrical performance of Carlo Brandt as crazy, manipulative and with his guru tearing death is impressive. But as time passes, as a viewer, I am more and more convinced that the whole thing could be an arbitrary crime scene (without investigating the commissioners). If you did not know that the story is basically true, you would not think about it too much. Where: The scene in which the guru pulls plastic bags on the heads of his followers … but leave it alone

Disruptive Case

The second episode of "shock waves" that I saw in advance is called Diary of Death ". Lausanne, 2009: an 18-year-old student, Benjamin Feller, kills his parents. Why? Excerpts from his diary provide information on this – and cause lasting damage. It is a document of total mental disorder: "I give the impression of a well-behaved boy, calm and reserved, somebody who is completely normal." In reality, there is regularly Meme it storms in my skull … "

No, this is not for me, I just have nerves too weak for that.I prefer to watch a series of" Mini Beiz, dini Beiz " – it's pretty scary for me.

"Shockwaves" is launched on Friday, July 20th at 8:15 pm with the episode "Journal of Death." Fanny Ardant can be seen as Professor Esther Fontanel The second episode "Journey Without Return" (with the Geneva actor Carlo Brandt as sect guru) will follow shortly after 21:25 pm Friday, July 27, at 20:15, "Flight to the mountain" will continue (after a case of 2017 where a criminal escapes from Lyon after a failed car theft in the Swiss mountains.)
