![]() She attacks a waiter, screaming, "Don't touch me." Liebermann runs to the rescue, grabs her, and has her taken away to the hospital. Before she can convince him through, a woman across the room goes completely off her rocker after staring at the painting too long. Clara isn't into the new art movement, but she's definitely of the right class, as when the mayor moved through the room, she asks Max if he wants an introduction. Max admits he is, and they're going to see "The Beethoven Frieze" by Gustav Klim before it leaves Vienna. His sister, Leah ( Charlene McKenna), wants to know if Max is taking his girl, Clara ( Luise von Finckh), out tonight after dinner. But his father seems glad that his connections got his son an in, even if he is dubious about the whole "Sigmund Freud" thing, especially as his wealthy friends see this entire "psychology" and "talk therapy" field of study as disreputable. ![]() His mother, Rachel ( Amelia Bullmore), is not thrilled nor pleased with his murder topic de jour as dinner talk.

Reinhardt returns to the station, only to discover he's saddled with a new form of "help." Liebermann has requested to do ride alongs as part of his research, and his father, Mendel ( Conleth Hill), is a personal friend of Police Commissioner Strasser ( Simon Hatzl). The missing gun is an antique, and there's no bullet left inside the body. And yet, all the doors and windows are locked from the inside. The murderer forgot to leave the weapon, and the body is staged, stretched out like a painting. She's been shot through the heart, and there's a suicide note that reads in part "I have tasted forbidden fruit, and he will drag me to hell." But this is not a suicide. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, we meet Inspector Oskar Reinhardt ( Jürgen Maurer) and Sgt Haussmann ( Josef Ellers), called in over a dead woman in an apartment.

Indeed, a press release that crossed my desk noted that filming for a two-parter each of 90 minutes began in early August 2023 with a 2024 screening date. Fingers crossed for more Viennese scenes (I’m hopeful, since the authorities now offer a very attractive package to filmmakers that has seen several high-profile productions filmed here recently). The good news is there should be a Season 4 of some kind. You’ll spot the exact locations at the lower end of the area, close to Lower Belvedere palace and (I think) the northeast exit on to Rennweg.Īnd that concludes a brief foray into the Vienna of Season 3.
