BBC have just shown a mini-series (3 x 90 mins episodes) of a detective/psych series called "Vienna Blood".
It is set in - OK you guess where - in 1902 when Freud was lecturing etc.
There is a down-trodden Inspector who has to let a young "Neurologist" called Dr Max Liebermann accompany and observe him on his cases.
Max is Jewish (which becomes significant as the series progresses) and is more a psychologist/psychotherapist - think criminal psychologist/profiler along the lines of "Mind Hunter".
It is based on a series of books written by Frank Tallis and works really well - with the assessment of crime scenes etc and the novelty of being set in Vienna (as opposed to London, New York or LA) in the early 20th Century.
No naked ladies rokker (except after they're dead and on the mortuary slab) but really good stuff.
Brits - go an take a look on i-Player, US chaps - not sure if you will be able to get it!
Here was certainly a sin worth sinning and I applied myself with characteristic vigour to its practice
