What happens

Vienna Blood is a British-Austrian procedural drama television series set in Vienna, Austria, in the early 1900s. Based on the Liebermann novels by Frank Tallis, the series follows Max Liebermann (Matthew Beard), a doctor and student of Sigmund Freud, as he assists Police Detective Oskar Reinhardt (Jürgen Maurer). By providing psychological insights into the subjects’ motives, they investigate disturbing murders with success. A continuing sub-theme is the growing antisemitism against the Liebermann family. Max is a member of a liberal British Jewish family in Leopoldstadt, a traditional Jewish district, while Oskar, a lapsed Catholic, is based at that district's police precinct. The first series began broadcasting on BBC Two on 18 November 2019. On 6 July 2020, it was recommissioned for a second series, which premiered in 2021. The programme was renewed for a third series, which began broadcasting on BBC Two on 14 December 2022, and a fourth, which began airing on 4 August 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
