Jenny Berlin brilliantly holds her own next to her more mature female crime-solving TV colleagues Rosa Roth and Bella Block. Perhaps because she's portrayed by the beautiful and talented Aglaia Szyszkowitz. And perhaps, too, because she's not a perfect heroine, but one who is cautious, searching, sometimes stumbling from one clue to another. Jenny is a beginner, who's learning the tricks of the trade of criminal investigators. She's vulnerable and knows she's got a long way to go. Yet every time she makes a mistake, she's determined it will be her last.
The 'Jenny Berlin'-cycle offers the fascinating experience of watching a young inspector gradually fill the shoes of her elders and grow into a self-confident, sure-footed investigator. She has a genuine interest in people, a sensitive intelligence, stubbornness, courage and a strong sense of morality. But all this is usually kept under wraps: for Jenny is discreet and does not like to draw attention to herself.
Jenny often doesn't have it easy at police headquarters, and her looks certainly have something to do with it. She's constantly got to prove that she has what it takes to solve crimes - no matter whether it's physical prowess, intellectual acumen, combinative brilliance, emotional fortitude and stamina under pressure.
