Finally, one of the better episodes, and fittingly, one of the last. The local officer still tries to play the part of Pfeiffer, but this time it didn’t bother me as much. Nadine keeps trying to be funny, but here, at least, it doesn’t feel like she’s annoying fans of the original episodes. Meanwhile, Ben is investigating the murder of a potato breeder, which is absurd in itself. The investigation is solid, with a priest bribing some archdean to let the Tölz Boys' Choir sing in the Sistine Chapel. Watching the choir is entertaining too—thankfully, they sang more than they talked, because when they did speak, their thoughts were more mature than half the adults! Overall, Der Kartoffelkönig comes close to capturing the vibe of the original episodes, but only just.
