Hello!
The next series that I'd like to present to you is The Alienist, which is a brilliant production that you can watch on Netflix. It talks about a psychiatrist (then called alienist), who together with his friend (a reporter), tries to solve the case of a serial killer. This story takes place in New York during the late 19th century. It has only one season.
When an unidentified, butchered boy's body was found on the bridge, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler decides to start the investigation, because the case reminds him of the murder of his former patient. With time 'dedectives' discover more and more clues and with help of Sara Howard-the firts woman in New York working at the police station,they create the psychological profile of the murderer.
The main character of Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Daniel Brühl) is fascinating, breathtaking, but above all intriguing. He's a person full of peace, seriousness, but also curiosity and intelligence. He really cares about solving the case and he's deeply involved in it.
Another important character of this story is John Moore (Luke Evans). He's very charismatic and a bit disorganized, he really likes Miss Howard. He's also a sensitive man and he worries about the fate of boys used in local brothels, because they were in the most danger. He helped and gave them money so that they wouldn't have to work there.
And the last relevant person is Sara Howard (Dakota Fanning). As I mentioned earlier, she worked at the police station, admittedly, as a secretary, but in many people it command respect. It gave her many opportunities that she used, because she was very bright. She significantly contributed to the development of the case.
This series takes some of taboo topics, but I think that they are important and it's worth to think about it. What I liked the most about this production was the atmosphere and the idea for the series, which was incredibly well realized. It stole my heart and I highly recommend you to watch it,
See you in the next post!
