User Reviews

A truly great start.

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.
