Trivia
It is in fact true that Arthur Conan Doyle was friends for some time with Harry Houdini. Although Houdini insisted that Spiritualist mediums employed trickery (and consistently exposed them as frauds), Doyle became convinced that Houdini himself possessed supernatural powers, a view expressed in Doyle's "The Edge of the Unknown." Houdini was apparently unable to convince Doyle that his feats were simply illusions, leading to a bitter public falling out between the two.

Goofs
The series presents Houdini as a playboy. He was married in 1894 and his wife Bess accompanied him on most of his tours, especially in Europe.

Connections
Referenced in The Graham Norton Show: Chris Hemsworth/Jessica Chastain/Kirsten Dunst/Stephen Mangan/Raleigh Ritchie (2016)

Top review

Excellent, no other words to explain these series

This series are by far, the most amazing and interesting ones. I literally watched the whole 10 episodes nonstop in a row, and I'm proud of it. My eyes just lighted up when I saw the Season 1, and I've to say that I want more! That's mainly why I'm writing this review, because I want and need more! I've come addicted to these TV series, and I love it! I simply loved the "Episode 3: In Manus Dei", the drama on it actually made me cry, and I don't cry much on drama movies, or drama TV series, but this one got me good. I'm currently watching Person Of Interest, but it's ending on Season 5, which I'm currently on (waiting for further episodes) and I need other series to watch. Houdini and Doyle sounds just right type of series to fill that empty space!
