Making use of Vienna’s baroque imperial architecture, the setting is rich and impressive. He involves Liebermann in the former, while calling on the young doctor’s fiancée, Amelia Legate (Lucy Griffiths), to analyse evidence at crime scenes. Rheinhardt is a progressive inspector who is introducing new methods to Austrian policing, such as criminal profiling and forensics. The premise of these stories is as intriguing as the mysteries.

Other cases in the series include The Devil’s Kiss, in which a young vagrant finds a body in one of Vienna’s slums and Darkness Rising, about the murder of a monk in a monastery. What was the countess so afraid of? Eventually, an autopsy takes place and they find she was poisoned. Equally troubling are the dreams the countess had reported to Liebermann during their sessions involving a baby girl who turns to dust. A woman he has been treating with the controversial new approach called psychoanalysis has apparently killed herself.Īfter a stuttering start, the pair are investigating once again and soon it appears an officer recently discharged from the military had been courting the countess, even though she was twice his age. As well as asking for help understanding the victim’s frame of mind, Rheinhardt wants to warn Liebermann of the potential damage this could cause to his reputation. Police detective Rheinhardt, played by Jürgen Maurer, pays a courtesy visit to Liebermann’s (Matthew Beard) new practice – the widowed countess was one of Liebermann’s first patients. The next morning she’s found drowned in her bathtub and the police quickly determine it was suicide. Living in a grand Vienna hotel while seeking a cure for her depression, Countess Nadazdy suddenly takes ill at dinner, dramatically stumbles up the stairs and, it seems, is confronted by an apparition. Things get underway with the case of The Melancholy Countess.
UK viewers can watch the series on BBC iPlayer. Based on the popular Liebermann novels by Frank Tallis, this is a fascinating series if you enjoy lavish period crime dramas and equally if you like Agatha Christie-esque mysteries. Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt and psychoanalyst Dr Max Liebermann resume their crime-solving collaboration in season two of Vienna Blood, which is available to stream in the US via PBS Masterpiece on Prime Video.
