Sophie Gets the Last Word in 'Funny Woman's Season 2 Finale
Funny Woman Season 2, we hardly knew ye! I wish we’d gotten at least two more episodes of the life and times of Sophie Straw, but it’s been a fun, brisk quartet of episodes. I both enjoy and admire how the season’s many significant plots and character

The Personal & Professional Intertwine in 'Funny Woman's Penultimate Episode
Funny Woman’s second season is burning through plot like a bunch of raked-up autumnal leaves. A four-episode season means that where we’d be at the midpoint of a season with six episodes, we’re already in penultimate episode territory, often where the big turning points of

Sophie Straw Seizes a Starring Role Overseas as 'Funny Woman' Reaches its Midpoint
Have you seen Almost Famous? It’s Cameron Crowe’s semi-autobiographical film about the experiences of "William," a teenage music journalist writing for Rolling Stone in the early 1970s. At one point, William has gotten himself in a terrible bind: he’s been on the road with

Please Save 'Vienna Blood': A Cri de Cœur
Vienna Blood is (probably) dead; long live Vienna Blood. The pre-Great War murder mystery series featuring the highly effective odd couple of young British Freudian Dr. Max Liebermann and veteran Viennese homicide detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt’s fourth season wrapped up on PBS at the end of January, and

Sophie Straw Is Back, Baby, in 'Funny Woman's Season Premiere
Sophie Straw (née Barbara Parker and played by Gemma Arterton) just wants to exercise her judgment in both professional and personal matters. Why is that so hard? That’s rhetorical; I know why it’s hard: there would be no TV show without this central conflict and journey, and it

Matthew Beard & Juergen Maurer Talk 'Vienna Blood's Accidental Timeliness
Before the season premiere for Vienna Blood’s fourth and likely final season, lead actors Matthew Beard (Dr. Max Liebermann) and Juergen Maurer (Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt) spent about an hour thoughtfully answering press questions about their characters’ arcs, the series' distressingly timely historical resonances, and the joy it brings

'Vienna Blood's Finale Shows Us "The Face of Mephisto"
Welcome back, possibly for the last time, to Vienna Blood. If this season finale pulls double-duty as a series finale, it will complete a nice little set of bookends for our favorite intercultural, pre-Great War crime-fighting odd couple (while leaving the door tantalizingly open for several more

'Vienna Blood's Penultimate Episode Explores "The Enemy Within"
This week on Vienna Blood, we get many illustrative examples that just because someone is paranoid doesn’t mean he’s wrong. Poor Oskar; it’s not enough that Max will be damn lucky to survive surgery following last week’s shooting. Nor is it enough for Oskar to torture

'Vienna Blood's Leading Duo on Season 4 & *That* Cliffhanger
“A fully-developed bromance” flourishing as they face “trying to solve a major crime at the end of the Austrian Empire.” That’s how Vienna Blood star Juergen Maurer describes the relationship between his character, Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt, and Dr. Max Liebermann as the pre-Great War mystery series’s

'Vienna Blood' Sees Max Lose "A Winning Hand"
Longtime Vienna Blood viewers will recall that PBS tends to split each season’s feature-length episodes, giving the show a longer run. This time around, those breaks – which have in the past tended strongly towards the clunky – work pretty well. The break between “Mephisto Waltz” and “A Winning Hand”

'Vienna Blood' Returns for One More Dance in "Mephisto Waltz"
Vienna Blood is back for one more waltz! The British-Austrian production is unlike most English-language shows on PBS’s slate, thanks to its setting in mainland Europe between the Victorian and Great War periods. In some respects, it’s a classic odd couple-solves-murders show featuring an
