Vienna Blood (TV)

[corvidology]

FANDOM NAME: Vienna Blood (TV)

Summary mostly from Wikipedia: Vienna Blood is a 2019 British-Austrian psychological thriller television series set in Vienna, Austria in 1906. Based on the Liebermann novels by Frank Tallis, screenplay by Stephen Thompson, the series follows Max Liebermann (Matthew Beard), a doctor and student of Sigmund Freud, as he assists Police Detective Oskar Rheinhardt (Jürgen Maurer). By providing psychological insights into the subjects’ motives, they investigate disturbing murders with success. A continuing sub-theme is the growing anti-Semitism against the Liebermann family.

It was only 3 (90 minutes) episodes in Europe, split into 6 (45 minutes) episodes when shown on PBS in the U.S. A second season has been ordered but will not be released until next year at the earliest, so it's a quick canon to check out.

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT:
It has really interesting interwoven storylines but the main one is the developing friendship/partnership between these two very different men, one a young, somewhat idealistic, doctor exploring a brand new method of treatment and a cynical cop who's been around the block one too many times. Yes, it has bags of M/M potential if you're into this sort of mismatched highly competent pairing with very different but complimentary skills but there's also definite M/F (including canon) as well as F/F potential.

Main cast:
Matthew Beard as Max Liebermann
Jürgen Maurer as Oskar Reinhardt
Luise von Finckh as Clara
Jessica De Gouw as Amelia Lydgate
Amelia Bullmore as Rachel Liebermann
Conleth Hill as Mendel Liebermann
