    Honestly the series itself starts off pretty good, but for the love of god, I absolutely hate the character of Fleur Salome and the whole Szapary conspiracy plot in general. It feels like this series was written by that one horse girl in school who only read Warrior Cats and now watches documentaries about serial killers, Jesus. It's not a biopic, it's a deranged charade with a boring andHonestly the series itself starts off pretty good, but for the love of god, I absolutely hate the character of Fleur Salome and the whole Szapary conspiracy plot in general.

    There is a light in the dark though, the actor of Freud himself and his assistant, aswell as the inspector carry the entire show, if they concentrated more on the life of Freud in the Asylum, this would have been a good, if not great first season.

    The main show is the slurp of creepy, disturbing manifestations of repressed psyches coalescing into, by the later episodes, a nonsensical yet amusing horror show.

    The first episode of Freud is a bit confusing, but if you put the real Sigmund Freud out of your mind, you should be able to buckle in and enjoy the ride on this psychological thriller.

    It’s neither scientifically accurate nor remotely believable, but it is an entertainingly gonzo saga of suspense and intrigue—regardless of what Freud might say about viewers’ desire for such trashy stuff.
