Galway, Ireland. One of the most iconic places on the green islandperfect for the setting of a detective story with strong introspective and psychological nuances, in the tradition of “local drama”, crime series in which the location characterizes plots, junctions and relationships between characters.
In the second season of the German series Irish Crime – Murders in Galway, detective and crime psychologist Cathrin Blake, consultant to the Galway police, returns with her baggage of torments (in the first season she had to deal with the discovery of the remains of her husband Liam who disappeared many years earlier) and with new cases to solve.

The series is an atypical crime, which prefers to insist on the social and anthropological backgrounds of the crimehelping to conceive an all-round reflection on evil and its origins, rather than accompanying us in the procedural aspects with which crimes are addressed.
Désirée Nosbusch’s performance, in the role of the protagonist, supports the entire structure of the series which, in perfect German tradition of the genre, tends towards a dilated, silent narrative, not always aligned with action logic, and an excessive use of cold tones which do not pay homage to the enchanting Irish landscapes.
For those who love psychological crime, in which the inscrutable darkness of evil overwhelms the detective story.
