Vienna Blood - anyone watching?

Has anyone else seen this series on BBCiPlayer, filmed in Vienna? The interiors, streets and buildings shown are amazing. The stories are quite good too - a little different, and humerous. Vienna is now on my wish list for the summer. The title is evidently taken from a waltz composed by Strauss.

Just watched the last episode.

Loved Clara’s hair.

If Oskar was hoping to go about the city unrecognised, surely he should have shaved his beard and moustache off?

Still too long for me

The episodes are 90 minutes, not 2 hours.

Yes, really enjoyed all previous series of this - different and intriguing. Plus I have to say that I think Matthew Beard is simply beautiful ...

Really enjoying this. Husband spotted Series 4 before me and onto it like a rat up a drain.....

I didn't realise at first and kept waiting for the episode to end!

I record it and watch an hour at a time, so I'm not bothered with the transmission time. I definitely couldn't watch for 2 hours, I struggled to make one hour.

Aveline Mon 12-Aug-24 07:28:10

I preferred it as four one hour episodes than two two hour ones.

I have to admit I've been struggling to stay awake, it's all so slow, and Oskar's voice is very deep. I like it but find sections of it very soporific.

Brilliant series.

I have such a soft spot for Oskar.

He has such sad eyes.

He needs looking after.

😥

I love his accent too. Yes, I would love to bake him a cake or a gulasch.

Only realised that this is the last series when I watched part 2. No more to enjoy.

He does! Lovely eyes and shabby old suit.

I too really like Vienna Blood. Just watched first ep from S4. I was really struck by the hierarchy in the police whereby the police chief took all the credit for his subordinates hard work. I love the juxtaposition between the characterisation of Max Liebermann and Oskar Rheinhardt.

I agree. However I expect it's very complicated and expensive to film. I'd rather have a few really well done programmes like this than endless rubbishy cheap ones.

I have enjoyed watching all the series over the last couple of months. Saw the first part of the latest one a couple nights ago, shame it's only two episodes this time.

I loved the previous two series and this one does not disappoint. It is so different and in my opinion well worth watching for once.

NanKate Tue 06-Aug-24 21:22:57

Episode 1 of the new series is great, really worth watching. 👍

Thank you for the recommendation.
I shall watch the series from the beginning. I'll also tell a friend about it, as having been born in Vienna, she will enjoy the scenery.

Seen this a few times now. Loved it.

LovesBach Fri 05-Apr-24 10:20:59

I'm planning to watch Magpie Murders tonight - thank you Whiff.

Labradora Thu 28-Mar-24 15:47:27

We both enjoyed this for all the reasons quoted but the OH in particular loved it.

He'll be delirious to know that there's a 4th series in production.

Whiff Thu 28-Mar-24 10:29:06

I loved all 3 series . Can't remember names but the Dr in it is also in Magpie murders with Lesley Manville also on iPlayer watch the series 3 times and still enjoyed it. Anyone liking Vienna Blood will like MM.

I loved this series but think I might have missed one so am off to have a closer look. Glad to hear there is to be another one. Thankyou LovesBach - great user name!
