La dama de los muertos

I liked the main character and binge watched the whole series, I wasn't disappointed. There's many layers to the plot and I don't think I could have predicted where it went. It's not just about revenge but also about a woman who is hell bent on revenge trying to juggle her family at the same time. She has her own personal issues too. I'd love to see another series in the future, I would certainly watch it. It's probably not aimed at the younger generation but an older one. It's more like midsummer murders on steroids. The scenery is beautiful and all the characters play their parts well. I enjoyed it.

Totenfrau is a worthwhile series, but why so many strange mistakes in such a series? In the first episode, a Ducati is hit at high speed, killing the rider. The car, which would normally have been badly damaged by a collision with a motorcycle weighing more than 200 kilos, drives away as if nothing had happened. The motorcycle can be repaired and will be picked up by the victim's wife. We see the woman in her fashionable tweed jacket, which flutters open in the wind, without gloves on, riding off on the Ducati through a snowy landscape. Normally, as a motorcyclist, you stop in this situation after 5 kilometers because your fingers are frozen off and your throat is swollen. Otherwise reasonable series.

The series does not have a sexy protagonist in hig heels, but a good sporty woman with a real live.

She has a fulltime job, two kids and is happily married.

She has a wealthy background, because here family is the coroner of that area since a few generations.

All of a sudden here relaxed live changes dramatically due to an accident. Accident?

After that accident live is diffrent a some here in the forum think its strange, that she hops on the ducati and can really drive it at high speeds.

Well honestl, whats so special about that? Nothing, as she is not a "City biker", If you are grown up in the mountains and have been driving a motorbike when you where young, then you will defenitly know how to handle a bike, as the mountains dont excuse flaws and on the other hand, give you a lot of training ground when you are young.

The element of the motorbike was taken, to show the break in here live, after the strong cut due to the accident.

Until that moment, she was living a secure normal mom live, with low riscs, to keep the family save since the birth of her daughter.

Now she feels, she has to wake up and take things in here own hands again and she does that very impressive.

The series is absolutly worth the time watching it (including some dexter fun), Have fun!

This six part Austrian series is centred on Brunhilde Blum, the owner of a funeral home high in the Alps. In the opening scenes we see how her parents drowned while she slept on their boat's deck when she was much younger. Now she is married to a policeman who appears to be contacting another woman behind her back. The first she learns of this is when she finds his second phone after he is killed in an apparent hit-and-run accident. She manages to find the other woman and discovers something much worse than a suspected affair. It looks as though powerful people had reasons for wanting her husband dead. She is determined to get to the truth even though it puts her in danger.

I thought this was an impressive drama. The story didn't go quite as I expected, which was a pleasant surprise and, as well as an interesting mystery and revenge story, there are some delightfully dark comic moments. Brunhilde is a fine central character and Anna Maria Mühe does a great job in the role. The rest of the cast are solid too. The alpine location is scenic and adds to the cold atmosphere of the series. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to fans of European crime dramas.

These comments are based on watching the series in German with English subtitles.

The way the story slowly reveals the depths within the main character is stimulating in this story. It's got a revenge thread through it but I found the unfolding of the main character more interesting.

Ultimately the series is very satisfying. The protagonist dances with the multiple antagonists. One ups the other, then back again, like a game of tennis. Our 'hero' protagonist has a riveting journey form the viewer perspective. But the thing is, is she really a hero?

The whole film is well cast with the perfect villains and victims. There's some nasty torture implications in this, but these scenes are not so explicit thankfully.
