- Die Familienkomödie "Mein Vater, der Esel und ich" lässt auf humorvolle Weise zwei unterschiedliche Lebenskonzepte aufeinanderprallen: Isabell Polak in der Hauptrolle einer verantwortungsbewussten Multi-Taskerin und Günther Maria Halmer als ihr abgebrannter Altrocker-Vater bekommen unverhofft die Gelegenheit, doch noch vom anderen etwas Gutes zu lernen. Regisseurin Imogen Kimmel erzählt unterhaltsam eine lebensnahe Geschichte. Das Drehbuch von Melanie Brügel versöhnt mit Widersprüchen und zeigt die Kunst, aus Fehlern zu lernen. In Gastrollen glänzen die Publikumslieblinge Saskia Vester, Eisi Gulp und Dietmar Mössmer mit lässiger Selbstironie. Für die Allgäuer Landpolizistin Tinka steht schon immer Verantwortung an erster Stelle - in ihrem Beruf, als Alleinerziehende und sowieso für ihre Familie. Um den unrentablen Hof ihrer inzwischen dementen Mutter Louise zu erhalten, verzichtet sie auf eigene Lebensträume. Dabei nimmt es Tinka sogar in Kauf, ihren 17-jährigen Sohn Flo zu belügen, warum er von Geburt an ohne Vater aufwächst. Vom eigenen Papa, der sie und ihre Mutter für seinen Traum einer Rockkarriere hat sitzen lassen, möchte Tinka nichts wissen. Als Hartmut "Bonanza" Zeller überraschend aufkreuzt, gerät Tinkas zwar hochtouriges, aber genau geordnetes Leben aus der Bahn. Wie sie schon bald merkt, treiben den abgebrannten Lebenskünstler weder ein schlechtes Gewissen oder plötzlich erwachter Familiensinn, sondern handfeste Geldsorgen nach Hause: Tinka soll ihm einen Anteil am Hof auszahlen, der ihm angeblich zusteht. Am liebsten würde sie "Bonanza" so schnell wie möglich loswerden. Der wiederum hat eine Gerichtsvollzieherin im Nacken sitzen.
- Die eine wird unfreiwillig zur Undercoverkommissarin, der andere soll sich den Anweisungen einer Vorgesetzten beugen, die noch gar nicht offiziell im Dienst ist: Hayal Kaya und Julian Bayer müssen in "Seeland - Ein Krimi vom Bodensee" als Konstanzer Ermittlerduo mit einem Ausbrecher fertigwerden, der einen Ausflugsdampfer nebst Passagieren in Geiselhaft nimmt. Ein Ausflugsschiff auf dem Bodensee. Gut gelaunte Passagiere feiern bei einer Kostüm-Party. Mittendrin Elena Barin am Tag vor ihrem Amtsantritt als Dezernatsleiterin bei der Kriminalpolizei Konstanz. Sie ist als Touristin unterwegs - bis zu dem Moment, als sie bei einem Passagier eine Waffe bemerkt. Robert Böwe, ein mehrfach vorbestrafter Intensivtäter, ist aus einem Schweizer Gefängnis ausgebrochen und auf der Flucht. Als er unter Druck gerät, bringt er zusammen mit einem Fluchthelfer das Schiff samt Mannschaft und Passagieren in seine Gewalt. Während Elena inkognito an Bord des Schiffes agiert, hat ihr neuer Kollege Achim Schatz an Land die Verhandlungen mit Böwe übernommen und versucht, gemeinsam mit Hanno Kienle und Britta Heinemann die Geiselnahme zu beenden. Elena gelingt es, heimlich Kontakt zu Achim aufzunehmen. Sie kann nicht verhindern, dass ein Passagier erschossen wird, umso intensiver setzt sie ihre psychologischen Fähigkeiten ein, um ihren Draht zu Böwe aufrechtzuerhalten und ihn zur Kapitulation zu überreden. Doch Böwe gibt nicht auf, sondern verfolgt einen Plan. Elena und Achim müssen damit rechnen, dass es weitere Komplizen gibt, die Robert Böwe unterstützen. Angesichts der prekären Situation schieben Elena und Achim ihre persönlichen Bewährungsproben in den Hintergrund. Denn während Achim damit fertigwerden muss, dass nicht er für die Dezernatsleitung ausgewählt wurde, bedeutet die Stelle für Elena nicht nur einen neuen Job, Konstanz soll für sie auch der Start sein in ein neues, selbstbestimmtes Leben als transidente Frau und Kommissarin.

Oder hatte René Klettner einen Streit mit seinem alten Kumpel Thomas Zühlke, mit dem er am Tatabend in einer Kneipe war?
