An original frame and a very good implementation

With "Prof. Sigmund Freud" puts the radio play label "style", which is known by productions like "Edgar Allan Poe" series, the "Perry Rhodan Stern cycle" but also "Hui boos New World", the first time a radio drama series under its own flag in front. By brought on board one has however the HR, with which you have already worked in the past. Thus, the series will be released not only on CD (as of January 2011), but will also be heard in the summer of 2011 on the radio.

In the first episode the future protagonists of the series meet. The gendarme Gruber is doing its job to create what drives him in the treatment of Sigmund Freud. In particular, a murder of the theater is in the focus. Freud is interested in the case, but is bound by its practice due to its own activity. Instead, he sends his daughter Anna to support Gruber in the investigation and to bring to light the darkness. The case assumes mysterious features - in a dramatic final but has to Sigmund Freud to act with self, to avoid a hazard.

The narrative stands out slightly from the rest. There is no nominal narrator, instead bringing Freud's ego, superego, and it to be heard, creating an image of the respective ideas and conclusions. An original gimmick that fits perfectly with this series. Otherwise, the story takes place exclusively in dialogs again. Despite a playing time of just over an hour to introduce the characters and accommodate a solid criminal case succeeds.

The staging lives of this great event, which can be reached by a very discreet background music and by the protagonists rather quiet occurring. Especially Andreas Fröhlich and Hans-Peter Hallwachs characterize this; Cheerful as more cautious and uncertain gendarme, Hallwachs auftrender as calm and objective analysts. A bit more liveliness brings Felicitas Woll as Anna in history. But they also in compliance with the limits of what defines the historical stereotype of action time. Very good occupations, there are also in the supporting roles, especially Rolf Zacher and Sascha Rotermund put here accents.

Particularly at the number that each episode focuses on a particular aspect of the psychology in the focus of the case. This is then not only the motive supporting the case, but will also be explained in a bonus track from Dr. Salwa Meier.

With "The Good Son" starts the label style in a promising series. The original narrative style that is perfectly adapted to the basic theme, makes for a very entertaining thriller hour. The result defies the difficulties of the start sequence, introducing the characters and an attractive plot to accommodate in a limited game time, quite well, so I can put this episode friends atmospheric successful thrillers quite fond.
