On Sunday evening, the “crime scene” was once again the ratings winner on German television. An average of 9.80 million watched WDR’s lignite story with the Cologne team and the title “Abbruch Kante”. That corresponded to a market share of 31.0 percent from 8.15 p.m. for the first of the ARD. The Cologne “crime scene” took place in the Rhenish opencast mining area Garzweiler – the region that was in the media every day in January because of the evacuation of the town of Lützerath, which was then occupied by opponents of lignite and has since been demolished. The fictional place in the thriller was called Bützenich.
The second had less than half as many viewers at prime time: 4.35 million (13.8 percent) tuned in to the ZDF love drama “Inga Lindström: Hanna and the Good Life”.
Third place went to the private broadcaster Sat.1 with 1.89 million viewers (6.3 percent) with Anne Hathaway in the fantasy film “Hexen Hexen” from 2020, directed by Robert Zemeckis.
ProSieben reached with “Who steals the show from Sido?” from 8:15 p.m. an average of 1.88 million, which, because Joko Winterscheidt’s concept show lasted more than three hours, even meant a 7.1 percent market share. “Bill Kaulitz wins the season finale of “Who is stealing the show from me?” on Sunday evening and defeats host Sido. With this, Bill quizzes himself on the cover of his own puzzle booklet: “Bill’s funny puzzle carousel” is the puzzle magazine published especially for the show and starting today for the first time in street sales as a homeless magazine,” said ProSieben on Monday.
RTL had an average of 1.36 million viewers (4.5 percent) with the American erotic drama “Fifty Shades of Gray – Befreite Lust” from 2018, Vox with the cooking duel show “Kitchen Impossible” 1.24 million (4 .9 percent), RTLzwei with the Paris-based thriller “96 Hours” with Liam Neeson 980,000 (3.1 percent) and Kabel eins with the docu-soap “Trucker Babes – 400 hp in the hands of a woman” 970,000 (3.2 percent) .
The last ARD Sunday talk before the Easter break – “Anne Will” and the topic “No more gas, oil, diesel and petrol – does the traffic light have a plan for that?” held 3.02 million on screen after the “crime scene,” which meant 12.2 percent as of 9:45 p.m. The next “Anne Will” issue comes on April 16th.
