A “spectacular” returning mystery drama that was hugely popular with fans has just arrived back on Netflix
In 2022, the highly praised series titled “Woman of the Dead,” initially dubbed “spectacular” by its enthusiasts upon release, has made a comeback on Netflix for its second season.
The TV series originates from the globally acclaimed novel with the identical title, penned by Bernhard Aichner. In 2015, it was recognized as one of the top summer reads by the Financial Times and one of the best crime fiction books by the Telegraph, according to Amazon’s reviews.
The show is portrayed as both eerie and suspenseful, and its plot summary for the television remake goes like this: “An undertaker in a small town, who communicates with the deceased, uncovers the fact that her spouse was on the verge of exposing a horrific secret before an unusual accident ended his life prematurely…
In their critique of the initial season, Decider characterized Woman of the Dead as a rather conventional suspenseful drama. It boasted an impressive setting and a protagonist who carried a heart-wrenching past along with some peculiar traits. Ultimately, they recommended that viewers give it a try, finding it to be quite worthwhile.
Critics’ responses (on Rotten Tomatoes) were generally favorable, with numerous comments praising the stunning landscapes and backgrounds, along with a fresh perspective in the genre.
One spectator characterized the tale as both “grim” and “hard to tear away from,” filled with numerous “unforeseen twists and turns.” Another viewer expressed being “delightfully taken aback” to discover a “Vengeance” motif…
The author found the series captivating due to its unpredictable, intriguing female lead character. Each turn of events left them eagerly anticipating what would transpire next.
Actress Anna Maria Muhe, famously known for her role as Brunhilde Blum (previously seen in Netflix’s “Dogs of Berlin”), has been highly praised for her exceptional acting skills. Her performance in this drama is referred to as “remarkable” by some, and one critic even described it as “outstanding”.
The original cast also included Yousef Sweid, Emilia Pieske (Deutschland 86) and Felix Klare.
