BBC costume drama at its best!
Plus a very neat little homage to The Third Man on the big wheel.
Liked it!

Gonegirl it is on BBC2 which means you could catch-up on I-player.

Lovely detail and I especially liked the German detective, but my attention wandered from time to time, and DH soon dropped off to sleep!

I am part way through the second one. It's very pleasant viewing. I specially like the young Jewish doctor who helps the detective. They make good contrasts.

It's so well done! Feels very authentic. Vienna looks beautiful but the production somehow captures the whole atmosphere of the place and the time. Really looking forward to the last episode.
Well done BBC!

Just watched the last episode with my DH who usually doesn't watch the dramas that I like. I thought it was excellent and hope that there will be a second series. So did he which surprised me.

Does anyone remember Rufus Sewell as Aurelio Zen a few years ago? The Beeb only made 3 episodes and then no more.

I'm really enjoying this and very thankful that the BBC have at last managed to make a period drama that isn't too dark and depressing.....for a change! They've managed to get some gruesome corpses in (got to keep the special effects staff employed!) but the overall feel is not grim and gruesome like so many of their dramas.

Does anyone watching this think that the actor who played Inspector Oscar ? looks so very like another Welsh? actor.

Chestnut Tue 03-Dec-19 23:31:47

Auntieflo - are you thinking of John Rhys-Davies?

I thoughtful doctor looked like a young David Tennant.

DH and I loved this series

JessK Wed 04-Dec-19 10:17:53

Really enjoyed this series. I wonder if they will make any more?

Auntieflo Wed 04-Dec-19 10:28:51

Chestnut, it could be, but I'm not sure. (His nose looks a bit too fat!)
I'll have to keep a look out in future

I thought that the policeman looked like James Nesbitt with a beard! Loved the series - really hope they make another.

Poor Oskar looked like he needed a cuddle. Only had his work, and now lost out on his promotion.

The second episode was really good, better than the first.
The music has been stolen from Sherlock though.?

Just caught up with this series, a good period drama which improved over the three episodes. I enjoyed the characters, storylines, costumes & settings. Really hope they bring it back, makes a change from Scandi noir.
