If you want to call your series plainly "Freud" and your theme is Fantasy, Mystery, Crime you are marching down the wrong path.
If this series wasn't trying to commercialize on the name of the famous psychiatrist for no reason, and used a random Austrian name like "Tobias Gruber", it would not be criticized so badly.
There is nice cinematography - photography, nice acting, nice sound design and a lovely soundtrack.
Surely there are a few problems with the directing choice of constantly showing "dreams" and the pseudo-artistic approach of storytelling here and there, but the whole series is not that bad.
I honestly believe that if the main character was not around a historic figure, that the audience would have liked the series a lot more.
I personally felt like I was being cheated by being shown so much nonsense connected to Sigmund Freud.
