The Alienist
Just finished Season 2 "The Alienist: Angel of Darkness". Watched its first season earlier and have liked it. Maybe because I am into detective stories. An alienist is what we call a profiler nowadays. "The Alienist" is a period series.
Often, if there is a new season for a series, I watch the previous season although they have no connection whatsoever. And this is also what I did with "The Alienist".
The first season is about the gruesome murders of boy prostitutes in New York City. The newly -appointed police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt who is out to get rid of corruption in the police department (and who eventually became the President) was helped by a band of social outsiders consisting of Dr. Laszlo Kreisler (criminal psychologist), John Moore (newspaper illustrator), Sara Howard (headstrong secretary of Roosevelt who is determined to become the city's first lady detective), Lucius and Marcus Isaacson (forensic investigators). On the side, the disparity between the rich and the poor is depicted.
The second season have Sara open her own private detective agency. She is reunited with Laszlo, John, Lucius and Marcus as she tries to find the kidnapped infant daughter of the Spanish Consular. Their investigation leads them to murder and deceit to find a dangerous and elusive killer.
