When a beautiful young medium is found dead in mysterious circumstances, Dr Max Liebermann, is called upon by Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt of the Vienna Police to assist in the search for the killer.
All I could think of as I watched this was Sherlock, the Abominable Bride episode in particular, it very much has that vibe, that's something I see as a definite plus.
It was bursting with energy, a dynamic watch, but the tone of if was so deliciously dark, I loved the story. A complex crime being dealt with using a mix of traditional and modern techniques.
Production values were immense, it looked dazzling, with incredible sets and costumes. I love the way they showed lavish Viennese society, such extreme elegance. I loved the music, Sherlockesque in sound but brilliant.
The acting was hugely impressive. Each person played their part well.
