FREUD – dark, disturbing, graphic tale depicting the early work of a young Sigmund Freud. I liked it. Some scenes were definitely cringe-worthy, but I was fascinated nonetheless. Filmed in German and dubbed in English, the lead actor is riveting as a dashing, brilliant young doctor who genuinely cares about the mentally ill. (I doubt the real Sigmund Freud was anywhere near as handsome or captivating). His controversial methods are constantly thwarted and met with disdain. And there are supernatural overtones in the story which leave us wondering how much is insanity and how much is otherworldly. I’m also curious if any of the story is based on real events. We are always rooting for the good doctor, however. The work is exceptional and the series is only eight episodes. Cheers!! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 1.
