In the hit Swiss mystery series The Undertaker, actor/comedian Mike Müller stars as Luc Conrad, a former police detective turned funeral home director whose investigative instincts always seem to get the better of him. These days his job is to comfort and console the bereaved, but as soon as Luc starts to suspect foul play his inner sleuth takes over and so do the headaches for his on-again/off-again girlfriend, police inspector Anna-Maria Giovanoli. Lucky for Luc he's got a great support team at home - Erika Bürgisser, manager of the Conrad Institute funeral home and an old friend of Luc's late father, and Fabio Testi, undertaker's assistant, amateur gardener, and proponent of fine Goth fashion. Filmed in the breathtakingly beautiful northern Swiss canton of Aargau, The Undertaker serves up equal helpings of sinister mystery, quirky comedy and heartfelt drama. Together, Luc and his friends make sure that no murder goes unsolved and that anyone entrusted to their care definitely leaves a good-looking corpse.

Title: Hope He's There for Me!
Review: Purchased in blind trust and was delightfully rewarded with an interesting and captivating series. A previous detective takes over his fathers undertaker business and in the process of collecting corpses, lets his previous police experience drive him to "peek into the cases" and prompt him to go beyond his undertakers duties. The Swiss have joined my other favorite European film producers in a different perspective on crime stories - all with a touch of humor (a total un-American approach). So delighted with this work that I also purchased series 3 - also with no regrets.

Title: You're in for a pleasant surprise!
Review: What a wonderful combination of police detective work and an undertaker! They can go hand in hand and to think we'd find humor was a pleasant surprise. Sorry the show didn't continue. Very well done & excellent stories & acting.

Title: Good unusual tv serie
Review: The setting is of course unusual (a funeral home) and the job performed by the main character who resigned from the police to take over his dad's funeral home. Overweight, he is charming and sweet and looks like a teddy bear. Still madly in love with his former colleague, a pretty detective, he helps her to resolve the mysteries of some deaths. With the young Goth employee he hires, the thee of them will solve some difficult murders. I watched it in German with subtitles. The Swiss dialect is quite different.

Title: Search of the SRF original DVDs
Review: Find the original SRF DVDs. These DVDs have a burned English Subtitles which cannot be turned off.The SRF offer several different subtitles, if you are interested in learning another language.These do not list their episode title/name. they are given generic "episode X" title/name.This in completely unsatisfactory. There is absolutely no reason not to translate the Episode title/nameto the DVD menu.SRF = Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen

Review: The Swiss type of german used here is really heavy,,,,almost unrecognizable. I didn't enjoy it at all. The story is no big deal,,,definitely not worth $50.00. The Danish or Swedish "krimi" productions with subtitles are far superior,, and usually cheaper.
