Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen they open the empty case from which the lance head had been stolen, the impression in the soft lining was of a slim object about 200-250mm (8-10 inches) long. When the lance head later emerges as a weapon it is very broad and two or three times that length.
- Quotes
Oskar Rheinhardt: [Alone in his office, typing. Max wslks in, hat on hand] The answer is 'no'.
Max Liebermann: [Approaching Oscar's desk] You don't know what the question is yet.
[Max sits down across from Oskar]
Oskar Rheinhardt: Oh. Sorry. My mistake. I thought you were about to plead with me to release that fellow from your synagogue.
[With a sigh, leaning forward]
Oskar Rheinhardt: Max. It's a straightforward murder case. There's no puzzle for you to solve.
Max Liebermann: At least let me talk to him.
Oskar Rheinhardt: [Leans back in his chair with a deep sigh] That's usually when thinks start to unravel.
Max Liebermann: [Max struggles heroically not to release the tiniest of smiles]
I'd start by saying this was my least favourite story of the show so far, it perhaps lacked some of the excitement and razzle dazzle that we've been used to, but it's an interesting enough mystery, and a clever whodunnit.
The main strength of this show, the visuals, are present once again, this looks incredible, glorious production values as always, it rates as the best looking show on the box.
Very well acted, Matthew Beard is given the chance to develop his character a little more. Not quite so much from Oskar this week.
Sadly no news yet of a third series, I imagine this is a very expensive show to make, but I hope we get more, I want to see who Max ends up with.
7/10.
