Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mike Müller improvised several of Luc's morgue monologues, drawing from his own fear of death. The crew reportedly never knew which takes would be serious or comedic.
The show pioneered 'Tatort' adjacent Swiss crime television but struggled internationally because subtitled humor about Bernese funeral customs doesn't travel well. German audiences adored it; everyone else needed Wikipedia.
