Anyone watching this three part series on BBC 2? It is set in 1906 and the main characters are Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt who might be described as a "traditional" policeman of his era where perhaps thinking too deeply about something doesn't really happen! To aid him along comes young Doctor Max Liebermann who is keen on the teachings of Sigmund Freud and uses his methods to understand the people committing the crimes. Not dissimilar to a Austrian Sherlock Holmes! One slightly amusing part was when Rheinhardt says to his boss that a particular person didn't match the profile for the crime which not only dumbfounded his boss but seemed a bit out of place in 1906! Quite an interesting watch.

    Some interesting undertones of cultural prejudices being woven into the story as well presaging future events.

    The three part series ended last night and I must sat it grew on me as you got into the characters a bit more. Imagine there will be a second series as the policeman has been overlooked for promotion and the doctor banned from his place of study. What happens next!

    I missed the first episode but found the second two quite watchable.Had a Jonathan Creek type feel about it with the crime solving.Not that I watched a lot of Jonathan Creek !!!

    I always felt I was watching Ralph Little as Max though.

    The original series has recently be reshown on TV. I can't find any information on a second series which is a shame but that might be down to the current crisis as most things seem to have come to a halt filming wise.
