A psychologist, a news journal illustrator and a secretary are teaming up to help the New York police investigate a series of gruesome murders.
Inspired by actual history for some of its elements (for some of the details of the murders - unfortunately - or for some of the characters such as Theodore Roosevelt or JP Morgan), the story focuses on the the gripping events that surround the main characters who are each on their own interesting and charismatic, with each representing a trend which was gaining importance and popularity around that time (forensic psychology in Laszlo's case, feminism in Sara's case, forensics in the case of the 2 brothers Marcus and Lucius, thus portraying the period in a highly detailed, credible and intriguing way. Slightly melodramatic every now and then, this series manages not to get boring by the complete lack of monotony.
For fans of Hannibal Lecter, Mindhunter, Penny Dreadful or The Killing.There are rumors that there will be a second season, but nothing else new for now.
You might remember Daniel Bruhl from the wonderful Good bye, Lenin! Dakota is the former child wonder who has appeared in many films (I am Sam or Man On Fire) and who still does not disappoint as an adult actor. You've seen Luke Evans in Dracula Untold, Immortals and many more. Ted Levine was unforgettable in Silence Of The Lambs and almost unrecognizable in everything he did after that.
Director: Jakob Verbruggen and others
