I didn't expect much of this series as I saw a lot of negative reviews. But I know better now, to never trust negative reviewers, because some people just could not see quality if you would rub their face in it. The Alienist surprised me, with a good intriguing mystery story, with some excellent acting, and with very good filming and decor. The surroundings made you feel like you were back in the 19th century, where the posh elite meets the filth, where the righteous fight the corrupted. Class acting by Daniel Brühl, Dakota Fanning, Luke Evans, Brian Geraghty, Douglas Smith and Matthew Shear, the 'good' people trying to solve the mystery of a perverted child murderer. The rest of the cast was also very good, nothing bad to say about any of the actors actually. I don't know if there will be another season, with another mystery to solve, but I'm already a big fan if they continue with the same cast. I will probably binge watching that one as well as I did with this season.
