More than a year after the first season aired, Les Carnets de Max Liebermann (Vienna Blood en VO) returns to France 3 tonight with a new second season, in line with previous episodes, which should delight viewers. Max-Oscar duo!
Somewhere between Sherlock and the Aliens, a British-Austrian joint series takes us back to Vienna in the early 20th century, just a few years before World War I.
In the first episode of the second season of Les Carnets de Max Liebermann, which airs this week at 9:10 pm on France 3 and is titled “La Comtesse mélancolique”, Max (Matthew Beard) opens a practice in the city but has superstitions about psychoanalysis. Against. – Then the new branch of medicine under consideration – remained extremely persistent.
Worse still, the young psychoanalyst’s life soon turned into a nightmare when a Hungarian countess who had arrived in Vienna for treatment of her melancholy and found none other than her patient was found sunk in her bathroom.
Then obviously all eyes are on him and Max is forced to once again join forces with his friend Oscar Reinhardt (Jürgen Maurer) to find out about this crime and in the process clean up his reputation.
In addition to this case, which is closely related to the protagonist, the second season of Max Lieberman Notebooks, which includes three episodes of 90 minutes each, also confronts Max and Oscar with the discovery of the body of a man lost for twenty years. And the murder of a monk accused of dangerous fanaticism. The whole program!
More than ever, the strength of this series, created by Stephen Thompson from the novels of Frank Talisse, lies in its brilliant depiction of the atmosphere of the 1907 Austro-Hungarian Empire. The image is extremely sophisticated and the episodes are filmed. Partly in Vienna, take us to the various emblematic areas of the city that offer this little soul the adventures of Max Lieberman.
In addition, the series can rely on a rather dark and gloomy atmosphere, which is different from what France 3 generally offers on Sunday evenings, from the Granchester to the Vera investigation, forcing us to never run.
Add to that the compelling performances by Matthew Bird, Jürgen Maurer, Louise von Fink (Clara Weiss) or even Lucy Griffiths, who plays Amelia Lidgate, and you have one of the best detective series of recent years. Which proves that despite the recipe seen and discussed – an inappropriate duo of investigators – we can still generate sparks.
