Vienna Blood viewers have been complimentary about the BBC show after its second episode of the new season aired last night, but there are some mixed feelings about the compact format of the drama.
Vienna Blood follows the adventures of young doctor Max Liebermann and world-weary cop, Oskar Rheinhardt as they navigate crime in Vienna.
The two-part series was released on BBC iPlayer on Sunday, 4th August, with the first episode airing on the same date at 9 pm on BBC Two. The second episode aired at 9 pm last night (Sunday 11th August).
Fans took to social media after the show to express their approval of the drama, though some had some concerns over the show's length.
'That was excellent, it’s just a shame that we have so few quality crime dramas on the BBC anymore,' wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
