A patient of Max's, a wealthy Hungarian countess is found dead in her bath, Oskar is on the case, and finds his friend a little uncooperative.
What a treat to see this show back on our screens, I haven't long watched series one, which is a class act, this picks up exactly where that left off.
It's a wonderful start, this was a truly brilliant episode. The story was thoughtful, the bit if conflict between Max and Oskar worked well, and best of all, it looks sublime.
The story felt like a mix of Sherlock and The Blackheath Poisonings, that slightly seedy, but gritty plot worked very well, it moved along at a quick pace.
Visually, this was awesome, it looked fabulous, costumes, sets, all of that Austrian decadence, truly a feast for the eyes, this looked like an expensive production.
With the dismal Christmas TV schedule ahead, I think I'll save the next two for the festive period, and be guaranteed some quality viewing.
Loved it, 9/10.
