A consistently delightful and enchanting viewing experience, though I think the depth of warmth and empathy between Brandtner/Rex falls short of the tone set by Moser/Rex. Compensated a little by the playful moments with Bock. PS: What's with the phone box mysteriously appearing outsider Moser's house in "Dangerous Mission" - never there in previous episodes, and not sighted since! Why, in Brandtner's introductory episode "The New Guy", is the reason for Rex's distress referred to in such oblique tones? Moser's name isn't even uttered. We don't even get to learn what happened to his mentor Max. Despite these irritations, one draws a lot of pleasure from watching the Viennese locations, the well-written stories and the thoroughly charming, intelligent and witty interplay between Inspector Rex and his human crime-fighting colleagues, despite the heartbreak of Moser's demise.
