Doktor Caligari'nin Muayenehanesi(Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari, 1919), Alman sinemasının bu dönemini(Altın Çağ 1918-1927) simgeleyen ve en çok tartışılan filmdir.

Film, döneminde ve sonrasında, pek çok övgüler aldığı gibi, aynı ölçüde eleştirilmiştir. Öyleki "kaligarizm" bir terim haline gelmiştir.

Diziye konu olan olaylarda hep tanıdık temalar hakim. Almanya’da gündelik yaşamı etkileyen ya da geçmişte etkilemiş olan her konu, dizide ele alınıyor ya da alındı: Almanya’nın birleşmesi, terör, organ ticareti, küreselleşme, ırkçılık, uyuşturucu kullanımı, çevre skandalları, çocuk istismarı, işsizlik, sanayi suçları, yaşlı bakımıyla ilgili sorunlar, ya da eş bulma hizmetleri. Gerçek yaşamdakinden farklı olarak, toplumsal ayrılıklar “Tatort”ta her zaman çözülmese de, cinayetin faili her zaman bulunuyor ve pazar akşamı herkes yatağına huzur içinde gidiyor. Edebiyatbilimci Jochen Vogel’in sözleriyle “Tatort, Alman toplumunu anlatan bir roman.”
