Extravagant set design, had real fun watching it!

Very entertaining and I really enjoyed the furious humor (sometimes slap-stick-ish), the overall story arc and ESPECIALLY the super EXCENTRIC set design in the castle: weird chairs looking like an overly sexual female, weird hands-chandeliers in the morgue,... that must be fun while shooting! Overall "Edgar Wallace" vibe, entertainment, not always the "deepest psychology" behind all, but I just loved watching it for fun!
