With images of beautiful, icy Alpine valleys, the Swiss series “Wilder” became a public favorite. Now the series changes the scene from the country to the city. In the forgotten Jurassic city of La Chaux-de-Fonds, the images get even more melancholic and the action richer.

I like series that are heavily influenced by mood. I prefer series with a dark and melancholic touch. That’s why I liked “Wilder” from the beginning. The icy romance of the God-forsaken Alpine valleys in season 1 got me. For season 2, the series moved to the Jura. Even more pampa ristess, in a largely unknown mystical landscape.
Season 3 takes place in La Chaux-de-Fonds
The third season of “Wilder” also takes place in the Jura. The forgotten city of La Chaux-de-Fonds now joins the wind-frozen La Brévine mountain ranges. An urban landscape of contrasts. The majestic villas of turn-of-the-century watchmakers are combined with gloomy apartment blocks. Time seems to have stopped in different decades. Probably because the city is as far from the vibrant centers of Switzerland as possible. It is two hours each for Zurich and Geneva.
“Wilder” shows places in La Chaux-de-Fonds that we find every day all over Switzerland. Wood-roofed pools, neon-lit Chinese restaurants, and hair salons with mobile heating hoods. Places that are actually much more typical of everyday Switzerland than snowy peaks. But because we see them so often, we don’t even notice them anymore.

I like the respectful way “Wilder” treats these everyday Swiss places. They are easily exalted. Thanks to neat, symmetrical images and slow-tracking shots, everything looks a little better than in reality. After “Wilder 3,” it might happen that you suddenly see the 1960s apartment block in your own neighborhood with different eyes.

I also find the two main characters in “Wilder” very typically Swiss. Rosa, the disciplined curator who always wants to do everything right. And how many Swiss women like to forget to hold others responsible. His fellow researcher Kägi is usually a bit mute, but has a good heart. He doesn’t like to talk in particular, much less about his problems. This should sound familiar to many Swiss men.

As for the plot, the creators of “Wilder” have changed gears for the third season. Rosa and Kägi are chasing a serial killer who is targeting police officers. It’s action packed, as we’re more used to Hollywood blockbusters than SRF thrillers from Tuesday nights. You can wait for Rosa Wilder speeding through an underground parking lot with her car in reverse. A typical Swiss underground car park, of course!
The third season of “Wilder” can be seen on SRF 1 starting January 5, 2021, every Tuesday night at 8:05 pm The full third season of “Wilder” will also be available exclusively on Play Suisse from the first day of transmission. , The link opens in a new windowbe available.
