    Good recreation of the epoch and scenery, but very poor plot and characters. If budget and idea would get into a right hands we would received a thing which might be interesting as Sherlock, but it never happened.

    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.

    It had more the vibe of a period potboiler made in the 1980s with accompanying mood music, where the baddies sneered and cackled and the women were hysterical, being shagged by cads or naked on a pathologist's slab. It was hammier than a butcher's knife, but it wasn't unenjoyable for it, providing you took it with a fistful of salt.

    It’s a cop show, a police procedural, and it combines in a formulaic way the usual characteristics of all such stories and series. ... When it is done well, as here, the results are exceptional and make for compelling viewing.
