Outside of its country of origin, the series was broadcast in France on the network France 3 and later rebroadcast on the channel 13th Street. It also aired on Croatian Radiotelevision. The series title has been noted for its linguistic similarity to terms for breasts in certain languages, which has impacted its international distribution, as the show has not been broadcast on Russian television. The production is characterized by its focus on police procedural elements as the central characters navigate their duties. By documenting the work of two different lead investigators, the series maintains a consistent thematic focus on law enforcement operations within its German setting.
