Major Case Squad is a crime series inspired by 22 real cases investigated by Prague’s homicide detectives after 1989. The First Department is an elite unit that has recently maintained a crime clearance rate of around 95%. Its officers respond to murders, attempted murders, fatal assaults, and other serious crimes. The script was co-written by Josef Mareš, the current head of the homicide division. As a result, the show features an exceptional level of authenticity and accuracy in portraying police work, jargon, and investigative procedures. A hallmark of the cases is that detectives usually figure out the perpetrator fairly early on. The real challenge is catching them and proving the crime. Even seemingly minor details can play a crucial role. The investigative process and methods of establishing guilt have been faithfully preserved across all cases. Many episodes are inspired by high-profile cases — such as the capture of a sexual predator from South Prague, the murder of a television employee, or a landlord hiring a killer to get rid of an inconvenient tenant. You'll get to see how the police worked to catch the perpetrators, what obstacles they faced, and what tricks they had to use to secure a conviction. Fourteen episodes. Fourteen real cases. A true crime series...
