Vier Frauen und ein Todesfall is an Austrian crime television series, first aired on the Austrian television channel "ORF eins" in 2005. The show also aired in Switzerland on "SF1", in Germany on RTL Crime and on the Franco-German TV network "arte" - dubbed in French.

The sending-rights were sold to Slovenia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia and Denmark.

Plot

The four so-called "funeral friends" live in a small Austrian village and visit every funeral there. They always have their own theories about how people died and start investigations themselves because of the incompetence of the village police. With that, they often make enemies among the village's other inhabitants.

Critical reception

At the beginning the show seemed to be a flop, but the ratings are still very good (1.3 million). Apart from the setting in a very picturesque landscape the show offers a typical Austrian sense of humour and a sometimes unorthodox image of women.
