Vienna Blood
Vienna Blood has leaned heavily into the Liebermans' Jewishness, so opening with Catholic iconography and Gregorian chant is a choice. It's due to a lecture organized by Herr Strobl (Serge Falck), and Professor Priel (David Oberkogler) attended by Mendel, Max, and Amelia, featuring Brother Stanislav (Lukas Watzl)
All Creatures Great and Small

Around the World in 80 Days
Hard to believe, but we have reached the penultimate installment of Around the World in 80 Days' globetrotting saga. Last week, our travelers were marooned on a desert island with few resources and their wits to get them back to civilization. It's Day 65, and we'
Sanditon
With just over a month to go until period drama Sanditon returns for its highly anticipated second season, the marketing machine is cranking into high gear. (Not that, I expect, any of us are complaining.) PBS Masterpiece has released a second Season 2 teaser, featuring a dash of new footage

Sanditon
When Sanditon Season 2 was announced in the spring of 2021, the fandom was shocked and overjoyed. But into every life, a little rain must fall. Though the show was returning with stars Rose Williams and Crystal Clark as Charlotte Heywood and Georgiana Lambe, Sanditon's leading man, Sidney
Sanditon
PBS Masterpiece has released the first trailer for the wildly anticipated second season of period drama Sanditon and though the clip is very brief - just 30 seconds long - it still offers us some tantalizing glimpses of many of our favorite characters, some quick looks at new faces, and much of
Vienna Blood
