Vienna Blood

[maggiebee]

Anyone watching this series? Watched second part tonight - great stories and acting. Will be sorry when it ends.

[CrapAtCryptics]

I found the firstone very slow and a bit cliched but will watch part 2 tomorrow.

[Mamyalynne]

Excellent so far.

[brainiac]

Really enjoyed it. Well directed and very high production values. Kept wondering where they found all the locations, and if any of the interiors were sets.

I also wondered how on earth these European co-productions ever get off the ground - the money, paperwork and logistics of getting the whole thing together must take some doing.

Just another of the benefits of EU membership, brainiac.

[Peter Pedant]

agree Brainiac
I think the rooms are original

there are spectacular room interiors in Vienna

[Peter Pedant]

clara has just given Max the old heave ho
in a fabulous richly decorated house ....

[emmie]

will do a catch up later on, first part was very good.

[emmie]

very very good... enjoyed than immensely

[retrocop]

I am enjoying it very much but I find Max's performance wooden. He looked like a goldfish last night when Clara gave him the push.
All very Conan Doyle but stunning scenery.

[marval]

I am enjoying this as well.

[emmie]

isn't one of the writers from Sherlock tv fame...

[Toorak]

I agree with retro re max - I don’t find him a convincing character. But I am loving the interior and exterior scenes.

[Peter Pedant]

I think Max is not so much wooden as acting the young fella who is engaged to a nice girl that he doesnt love

and the one he DOES luuuurve Miss Lydgate very sensibly has declared that - patient or fren' but not both !

dying to know where they got the authentic Victorian Zoological museum from - row after row of stuffed parrots, actually they were polar bears but sort of

and as for Clara contacting Lieut Hafner without a chaperone in the house
what WAS she thinking of? no wonder it all went sour,
Stupid Gairl !

[brainiac]

It's the interiors that I find particularly impressive: the opera house, Max's father's haberdashery, the hospital, the lecture room etc - all beautifully realised.

[JuniperEccles]

I agree with Peter Pedant and also wondered why she didn't have a servant to answer her front door.
