Freud

I wonder why so many have expected a direct out of the book biography just because the name of the show is "Freud". Even Freud believed that every individual is unique and must be treated that way.

Cinema is personal to the creators and interpreting for the viewers should be on experience of the senses. Although I don't judge whomsoever disapproves, I also don't agree with them.

The series is engaging, dark and deep. To someone who didn't know 'Freud' personally or through the works that he chose to publish.. ( Martha exclaims 'What's not in the book is of no importance' or something like that) we must applaud the creative genius of the script and the actors to have embodies the roles so well!

It is NOT a biography, it is a Crime genre take on the basis of the working of the mind through Freud's eyes and boy! The show Beautifully brings to light the synchronicity between mythology, the spiritual world and psychology!

Watch it with a very open mind and you'll find it to be really fresh. Like all works of art that's forward for it's time, it's cathartic in it's own right!

Freud would be mad about these lies, but its an amazing show. Forget about him and enjoy.

There's nothing more funny than someone who has a presumption of what a show would be, then after watching it, attacks the creators for not matching his pre assumed ideas! Even a six year old would understand from the first episode that this is not a biography, and thats the nicest thing about.

I liked this show, its nice when actual historical figures are being used for raw imagination, Penny Dreadful did that really well, so did Boardwalk Empire.

A really good and different series. Dark yet keeps your mind entertained. If you up for a different experience watch it!

Don't expect to watch a biography of Sigmund Freud but rather a fictional thriller starring a (young) Freud starting in Vienna, constantly mocked in a time of political unrest... The photography is beautiful and somewhat reminded me of "Penny Dreadful" without its actor's excesses or the abuse of CGI. If this series is taken as a thriller featuring the character of Sigmund Freud and not as some biopic...it is very enjoyable. However at some time I would love to see a series/motion picture about Freud -something like "A Dangerous Method" minus Jung...please!!
