It's not what I expected. I thought it would be a biopic. It's a crime show with elements of fantasy and horror. I only started to enjoy it, when I stopped seeing it as show depicting the life of Freud. Actually I think it would have been better if they just used fictional characters instead.
What I really liked about the show was the look of it. The costumes, the backgrounds, the lightning. Everything looked nice. They also chose actors with distinctive faces.
The show had good ideas, that I haven't seen used in a fantasy show. There were scenes, that were well made. Still they could have explored them more.
The acting wasnt that great. The actor, who played Freud seemed quite unnatural. I somehow couldn't find myself caring for our protagonist. I found Alfred Kiss and his story much more engaging. Too many aspects of the story were glanced over. There should have been more about the Hungarian couple. Why have Schnitzler in the story if you forget about him and have him back for a few seconds when its convenient?
