In 'Miss Merkel,' Germany's former chancellor is a crime-solving amateur detective
Briefly

Angela Merkel's fictional portrayal as an amateur detective highlights her complex character, providing an imaginative glimpse into her retirement while also celebrating her past as a powerful leader.
Katharina Thalbach, who stars as Merkel, captures the weight of Merkel's leadership in her performance, saying, 'You could always see the burden of power in Merkel's shoulders.'
Author David Safier muses about Merkel's potential engagement with his fictional series, humorously noting that if a crime novel featured you as a hero, you'd at least read part of it.
Despite its commercial success, the TV adaptation of 'Miss Merkel' has received lukewarm reviews; however, its cultural relevance remains significant in Italy and beyond.
