Scanning the list of things to watch, you are bound to think that The Alienist is a sci-fi. But it is not. It is a crime drama set in late 19th century New York.
And it is really good.
Like the Scandinavian crime dramas that I love, it has such a strong set of interesting characters that you can't take your eyes off it for a minute. The crime itself is just a backdrop for the characters to fight in front of.
And it even makes you doubt the honesty of the main "good guys" from time to time. That is a gripping drama.
Now we are just getting started. Bring on season 2.
