What kind of watch this is

Scene of the Crime is a German crime drama that has been running since 1970. It tells its stories in 90-minute episodes, a length that feels generous until you realize how many of them there are. With 57 seasons and 1,347 episodes, the total watch time is 2,021 hours. That is a lot of hours to spend in other people’s crime scenes.

How it did with audiences

Scene of the Crime leaves the box office column empty, so the only number that matters is a 6.2 TMDB user score. That sits in the middle. It is the rating of a film you watched once, forgot, and might watch again if bored. No awards, no records, just a steady pulse.
