A hugely enjoyable TV drama on the BBC - for once - Vienna Blood: Series 1 review by PV
I loved this 3 parter. It first aired on BBC2 and typically the pc Radio Times constantly complained there were not enough strong female characters - well actually, the 'strong independent in charge' woman character is now its own cliche and stereotype and SO BORING.
I avoid TV drama painted by numbers like that to worship diversity and shoehorn such characters and pc issues into the plot; ditto re race.
This is the best drama I have seen on the BBC is 2 years - unlike most of their output in drama, it is not woke and broke.
It is just GREAT STORIES WELL TOLD which is what all drama SHOULD be - the BBC has seriously lost its way as its belief now is that the purpose of drama is to promote their diversity message. No wonder their ratings are plummeting so badly.
I enjoyed this hugely and could watch it all again - decent stories, interesting characters, the lot.
5 stars! More please but do not ruin it with pc characters parachuted inappropriately into early 20th C Vienna please - so NO Idris Elba or similar purlease and no 'strong independent women' detectives to tick the MeToo boxes. if that happens, I shall switch off.
