Synopsis
Freud (2020), Season 1 is Netflix's occult crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes set in the gaslit Vienna of the 1880s, before anyone has heard the name.
The young Sigmund Freud is going nowhere. His peers mock his ideas about hypnosis, and he numbs himself with cocaine between failed lectures. Then a run of brutal killings drags him in. He falls under the spell of Fleur Salomé, a psychic whose séances are no parlour trick, and teams up with Alfred Kiss, a war-scarred inspector chasing a missing girl. What looks like spiritualist nonsense turns out to be a wound in someone's mind — and a plot reaching the heart of the empire.
Each episode borrows a Freudian term, from "Hysteria" to "Suppression", and the eight stack into one tightening case rather than monster-of-the-week detours. It is period drama soaked in blood and the supernatural, which won't land for everyone — but if you like your costume mysteries gothic and grim, this season delivers. Stream Freud Season 1 online on iFILM.
