In the season finale of “Vienna Blood,” Oskar’s pursuit of the elusive Mephisto reaches its climax, culminating in what PBS is billing as a “deadly showdown.”
While Oskar has narrowed down his list of suspects, he’s yet to definitively link them to the cunning criminal mastermind. In a bold move, Oskar arranges a meeting with Mephisto, hoping to finally unmask and apprehend him. But as anyone familiar with crime dramas knows, these sorts of clandestine meetings rarely go according to plan.
The encounter takes a dangerous turn when Oskar finds himself caught in the crosshairs of an assassination attempt, because apparently, tracking down a serial killer in 1900s Vienna wasn’t perilous enough. This unexpected twist raises the stakes considerably, leaving viewers to wonder if Oskar will finally bring Mephisto to justice or become another victim in his twisted game. Will Oskar survive the encounter? Will Mephisto’s identity finally be revealed? Will Max Liebermann ever get a decent night’s sleep?
“Vienna Blood” airs Sunday, January 26 at 10:00 PM on PBS.
