Finished Vienna Blood. It was okay. 6 2-part eps.
It was the Vienna architecture that was outstanding.
The buddy cop trope was a tad hackneyed - like watered down Sherlock.
I liked the Jewish Freudian character, although not being able to decide between the two hotties (rich socialite vs hysterical forensic scientist) felt like a stretch. He's not really charismatic enough to get either.
Given the time period (just prior to WWII) they played with growing anti-Semitism themes. A 2nd season is allegedly on order from summer of last year but who knows where things stand with the pandemic?
The best part was the first episode where a the hysterical forensic scientist has a hysterical hallucination staring at a Munch painting (hysterical in the Freudian sense, not as funny ha ha).
There was a cool sword display in the 2nd to last episode in the background of a military school. Not particularly DOOM recommended.
Profilage continues to amuse. We're into season 2 but I skipped a few eps. We're can predict some of it, but there've been enough good twists to surprise us now and again. Chloe dresses really funny. She's got overdyed red locks, and wears bright green dresses with purple jackets and red tights. I've decided she looks like Madeline if she became a raver.
I really should look up to see if there really is a police station just across the Seine from Notre Dame.
