Imagine this: Angela Merkel, the former German Chancellor who served in office for 16 years, has now become a crime-solving detective in a new TV show. Yes, you read that right. The unexpected twist in her retirement plans has caught everyone by surprise.
In this bizarre yet intriguing plot, Merkel has taken over the role of Miss Marple in a murder mystery series called Miss Merkel. The show, produced by German channel RTL, follows the on-screen Merkel as she pursues her passion for solving crimes and mysteries, feeling bored with the slow pace of retirement.
The trailer for the show teases us with scenes of Merkel using a comical magnifying glass to look for clues, being chased in a forest, and being targeted by arrows, all while trying to solve a mysterious death. But that's not all - according to The Irish Times, the series also shows Merkel peeing behind a tree when nature calls, and being almost run over by a knight on a horse. It's definitely not your average detective show!
But what makes this show even more interesting is the fact that the fictionalized version of Merkel is full of political jibes and humor. In one scene, she jokes about cleaning up dog faeces, saying she's had enough experience cleaning up after others. She also pokes fun at her own style, claiming to have 50 identical blazers in her wardrobe. And to add to the quirkiness, she has a side-kick pug named Putin, a nod to her real-life political counterpart.
The trailer for the show has gone viral on social media, with viewers around the world eagerly anticipating its release. Some have even pleaded for English subtitles so they don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind show. And it's not just the viewers who are excited - critics have already branded the show as "magnificently bonkers."
Based on David Safier's book of the same name, the show portrays Merkel as a hobby detective, a refreshing change from her serious political image. The author himself stated that he was drawn to the idea of writing about Merkel because of her mysterious personal life, which is often kept out of the public eye. He compared her to Miss Marple from Agatha Christie's novels, both being underestimated despite their intelligence.
In a 2021 interview, Safier joked about sending a copy of his book to the real Merkel, predicting her reaction to be either a brief smirk or an eye roll, saying "this is all I need." And now, with the TV show bringing his book to life, one can only imagine what the real Merkel's thoughts might be.
