Steve Thompson, one of the trio of writers who originally brought Sherlock to us, has a new series out. And a good-looking one at that! It takes place in a fin-de-siecle Vienna. One of the main characters is half-Slovak (Wow!
). And it was filmed in Vienna at the historical locations. Sounds very good to me:

Reactions of viewers are quite positive too - just don´t read the actual "review" (it spoiled absolutely everything from Episode No. 1):

I´ll definitely give this one a go!

Didn't realise this was from the lovely Steven...
Yes, the trailers do look good.

A nice interview about the whole project with Steve Thompson and with Frank Tallis, the writer of the original books:

Well I missed it, when it first aired.
But they are currently repeating it.
I saw the first one last night.
Really enjoyed it.
Absolutely hilarious, though:
this Steve does exactly the same as Mr Moffat...he uses some of the same lines he used in Sherlock!
I thought it was interesting play with the 2 male leads though:
ostensibly the young doctor is the Sherlock character...
But the bumbling police man(Watson type) comes good...
There is good interplay between them.

Oh thanks ... I think I saw the first one or two and then forgot about it!
