Season 1 Review: If “Vienna Blood” seems to resemble other thrillers in pacing and tone, there’s a reason: Its creator is screenwriter Steve Thompson (“Sherlock,” “Deep State,” “Jericho”), so there will be a certain comfortable familiarity to the proceedings. (The directors are Umut Dag and Robert Dornhelm.) But there’s also enough that’s novel about the show’s cerebral gumshoes to keep viewers rapt, and likely hoping for more. Read full review
