Totenfrau

A brutal revenge investigation series with many layers of secrets (no spoilers)

investigative series + revenge that the plot looks simple. The villain is not difficult to guess from the beginning of the story. But the story has something different with the heroine's imaginative ability to talk to the corpse. And her actions unexpectedly surprised the audience in every episode. Chapters are not complicated. But hides many secrets that are more than the main plot tactfully until the final ending I recommend that you shouldn't miss it. And the more people who like brutal investigations This definitely answers the question.

A surprisingly remarkable Austrian film. I've watched revenge movies before but this one is something new to offer by way of an intriguing storyline.

It's a great character study. Brunhilde Blum's journey from a quiet, contented wife and mortician to a remorseless avenger is compelling. You feel her quiet rage as she proceeds to hunt down, one by one, those respectable people responsible for the murder of her dear husband. All this taking place while she cares for her children and managing her funeral home. And the revenge is spectacular.

That she's able to talk to dead people as sounding board, whilst not a unique plot device, is darkly humorous as done here.

Quite competent actors. And the mountainscape as captured in film is short of mesmerizing.

Moralists might be disturbed by the message of the film as it seems to glorify impunity. But life is never easy; never black or white. Each is answerable ultimately for his/her actions.

Just finished binge watching this from start to finish. Although a tad predictable (at least for me) I found myself geared in and fully engaged in the story and the acting even though it's not in English (watched the VO English version).

I liked how the main character is dark and the revenge factor is really the driving force with no holds barred. That's what makes it effective. It also is gory and it does evoke happiness when revenge is enacted.

Overall for a VO show I finished it in one sitting, completely engrossed in the plot. It won't blow you away but it's very well directed, the score is good and the actors carry it well. 7/10.

Totenfrau is a worthwhile series, but why so many strange mistakes in such a series? In the first episode, a Ducati is hit at high speed, killing the rider. The car, which would normally have been badly damaged by a collision with a motorcycle weighing more than 200 kilos, drives away as if nothing had happened. The motorcycle can be repaired and will be picked up by the victim's wife. We see the woman in her fashionable tweed jacket, which flutters open in the wind, without gloves on, riding off on the Ducati through a snowy landscape. Normally, as a motorcyclist, you stop in this situation after 5 kilometers because your fingers are frozen off and your throat is swollen. Otherwise reasonable series.

The series does not have a sexy protagonist in hig heels, but a good sporty woman with a real live.

She has a fulltime job, two kids and is happily married.

She has a wealthy background, because here family is the coroner of that area since a few generations.

All of a sudden here relaxed live changes dramatically due to an accident. Accident?

After that accident live is diffrent a some here in the forum think its strange, that she hops on the ducati and can really drive it at high speeds.

Well honestl, whats so special about that? Nothing, as she is not a "City biker", If you are grown up in the mountains and have been driving a motorbike when you where young, then you will defenitly know how to handle a bike, as the mountains dont excuse flaws and on the other hand, give you a lot of training ground when you are young.

The element of the motorbike was taken, to show the break in here live, after the strong cut due to the accident.

Until that moment, she was living a secure normal mom live, with low riscs, to keep the family save since the birth of her daughter.

Now she feels, she has to wake up and take things in here own hands again and she does that very impressive.

The series is absolutly worth the time watching it (including some dexter fun), Have fun!
