(Photo by Kata Vermes/TNT) Profiling serial killers has to weigh on anyone. Kreizler is the first, so there isn’t even anyone around with experience to help him. “Every shrink needs his own shrink to cope with all the issues, the demons, and the pressure of their work,” Brühl said. “That didn’t exist, so he is pretty brilliant in analyzing everyone...
(Photo by Kata Vermes/TNT) As the first female employee of the NYPD, Sara Howard already broke the glass ceiling her first day on the job. Today she might not accept the term “secretary,” and she’s certainly more than that when she teams up with Kreizler and Moore. “She has a very strong voice and isn’t afraid to use it,” Fanning said. “When we fir...

That gloomy, dark at...
(Photo by Kata Vermes/TNT) A historical period piece comes with lots of elaborate costumes. What women wore in 1896 was especially restrictive, but Fanning had one piece she loved. “There’s one that’s a deep red with this velvet trim and I always felt like the chicest in that one,” Fanning said. “It was the 1896 version of when I’m having my best d...
(Photo by Kata Vermes/TNT) New York City no longer looks like it did in 1896. So The Alienisthe had to film in Budapest, Romania instead. Once he got there, Brühl was just as excited as if he’d taken a time machine back to 1896 New York. “It would’ve been impossible to recreate [in New York], and I’d never been in Budapest, so I was curious to see ...
