Series three ends on a real high.
Sleepin_Dragon1 January 2023
Max learns that the beautiful, talented actress, Ida Rego, star of silent cinema is in town.

This third series has been excellent from start to finish, and for my money this third episode was the best of the three, and one of the show's best episodes in general.

The show is always super stylish, it looks incredible once again, that's a given, but the fashions in this one are even more glorious than ever, credit to the costume designer here, definitely on their A Game.

The story, I absolutely loved it, it was so interesting to see Max and Oskar mixing with celebrities, and also embroiled in a hugely political case.

Glorious characters throughout, Oskar's boss played a bigger part, he was great, really liked the pickpocket, loved the cinema manager, loved her style.

Please, please let there be more!

9/10.

Death is Now a Welcome Guest
Prismark1017 October 2023
Max and Oskar go to the movies and there are early signs of celebrity worship.

Oskar is enamoured by rising silent movie actress Ida Rego. Max is a special guest at the premiere of her latest film as he knows her. Only during the film Ida dies of arsenic poisoning.

It comes to light that she had been previously been treated by Max and Professor Neumann at a clinic.

As Oskar investigates both he and Max upset a visiting American politician Senator Paul Adler. It laters turns out that Adler has links with a right wing anti immigration movement in Austria.

Meanwhile Max and Professor Neumann have never go on so he invites the professor for dinner with his family. Only Leah Liebermann seems smitten with Neumann.

It was set up to be a cracking episode with the revelation that Ida Rego was a spy set up to become involved with the dubious American Senator.

I found the resolution to be disappointing. Not exactly a bolt out of the blue but the prominence given to once character in this story hinted at something sinister.
