Detective Anna II

I absolutely love this show. I can't wait for season 3 to come out.

The acting is phenomenal and the season 2 finale mindblowing... I could not sleep for 4 days, my mind kept thinking about what's next.

Well done to the writers, cast and crew for this awesome series.

I hope I don't need to wait for a few more years to see the next series.

Just finished the second season. So many twists and questions in need of answers. Add to it introduction of character that had massive impact on Russian history. Quickly with season three!

Highly recommend to watch this period detective series. It's as good as season 1 and the story develops very well with a riveting cliffhanger at the end. The characters and their acting are solid. The English subtitles are very good and the storyline is interesting. Our heroine's ability to speak and see the dead gives an interesting twist to this detective series. I'm still waiting for news of season 3.

I was expecting the 2nd series to be as long as the first but it is only 25 episodes. 2nd series picks up several years after the cliff hanger of the first series. Anna has been studying medicine in Paris but returned home early to work in the local clinic with the doctor from the first series. There is a suggestion of a failed romance. She is a much more confident and emotionaly developed than in the first series, a very modern woman when Stolman appears back in town as mysteriously as when he left. The on-off relationship begins again but Anna is more mature now and is able to play Stoleman at his own game. There are developments within Anna's family which is a nice diversion and develops her mother's character which I found entertaining. Just when you think situation between them is resolved a character drops a bombshell which surley means a third series is a must.

Edit There is more! 2nd series is, in fact, 40 episodes, when I wrote my review only 25 had been released. Lots more plot twists and shocks. Looking forward to series 3 if it goes ahead.

Season 2 was phenomenal with its twist and turns, but ended with so many questions. The actors just portray phenomenal characters. The writers come up with unique storylines, and their romance between our heroines is fraught with tension and underlying passion all while solving, mysterious deaths and murder. Please bring back season 3 can't wait to see the characters develop.

The costumes in the series are spot on for the late Victorian period. I see the series has won awards for their costumes. The lead actress has one awards for her acting ability. Which really shows through in this series.
