El alienista (2018)
In terms of genre, such a pure and honest period detective story that I couldn't have hoped for more – and yet I still remain slightly disappointed. The excellent cast and its reputation for being the dark horse of the season raised my expectations so high that I needlessly hoped for a long time that The Alienist would turn out to be a new Ripper Street (also given the mismatched trio of main characters). The atmosphere of dirty New York of course does its part, with so many shady elements that only a viewer can remember, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that all the character storylines reached exactly where I expected them to. To my greater satisfaction, the character of a relentless member of the local unit, who ruins so many things for the heroes and is responsible for so much bad, would have to be eliminated. He annoyed and distracted me too much from the precise visuals or Luke Evans excelling in the role of a lifetime. Paradoxically, the series remains the strongest in the episodes where the last thing I remember is pondering over the identity of the killer.
