Here's the trailer for the first series which at least gives you a flavour of what to expect. Max Liebermann, a student of Sigmund Freud, helps Detective Rheinhardt in the investigation of a series of disturbing murders around the grand cafes and. Direktor Strasser warns Oskar that the victim was a Secret Service agent and the investigation is not the concern of the Leopoldstadt police, but when Oskar receives anonymous messages relating to the murder, he can’t resist delving further." Who’s in the cast?Īcclaimed Austrian actor Juergen Maurer plays Oskar Rheinhardt, while Matthew Beard returns as Max Liebermann. "The man’s hand and tongue have been severed. A beggar girl finds a mutilated corpse in the slum quarter. Teasing the second episode, the BBC says: "1907, Vienna. With his reputation in tatters, Max and Oskar set about cracking the case which takes a new twist when they discover the Countess was poisoned. It's a deeply personal case for Max, who asked the Countess to stop taking her prescribed medication and start taking a course of Freud’s talking cure with himself. The first episode, The Melancholy Countess, opens in the autumn of 1907 with a depressed Hungarian Countess being found drowned in a bath. They are in a long line of odd couples that we have seen in films over the years." And when he gets something in his head, he follows it through, much to the dismay of Oskar. Ill catch-up in January 2023 with the DVD set.


Season 3 is current running but I still manged to miss half of the first episode.

Talking about playing Max, The Imitation Game’s Matthew Beard previously told us: "Freud has all these new ideas about human behaviour that are exciting to Max. As far as Im concerned next to White House Farm (the brutal murder of an entire family in Essex) which was screened a year or so ago, Vienna Blood is the best thing on TV at the moment.

Oskar has more old-school methods but began to recognise in the first series how brilliant Max is.

The gruff detective reconsiders, though, when Max identifies subtle but essential clues in three difficult cases, and a new crime-solving duo is born. When soft-spoken Max Liebermann (Matthew Beard, The Imitation Game)-a young medical student and admirer of Sigmund Freud-offers to provide psychological insights into suspects’ minds, tradition-bound DI Oskar Rheinhardt (Juergen Maurer, Perfume) at first rejects his help. If you love Sherlock, you’ll be quickly seduced by this thrilling crime drama from the same screenwriter (Steve Thompson), set in the grand café and opera world of early 1900s Vienna.
