Right now you can watch Inspector Rex in the US on MZ Choice Amazon Channel and Mhz Choice — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. With 10 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 288 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Alexander Pschill sets the tone, and the ensemble matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on MZ Choice Amazon Channel and see for yourself.

There is a reason Inspector Rex keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting gives Inspector Rex its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. After his handler is killed, police dog Rex teams up with recently-divorced inspector Richard Moser to investigate crimes and solve mysteries on the streets of Vienna. And they sometimes get help from their two-legged friend, Inspector Stockinger. Credit to Alexander Pschill and Elke Winkens for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It ran for 10 seasons (1994–2004), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Inspector Rex passes that test consistently. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Inspector Rex delivers. If you have already watched Hudson & Rex, Inspector Rex is a natural next step. 10 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Watch Alexander Pschill work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Inspector Rex wrapped up in 2004, created by Peter Moser and Peter Hajek — and 10 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
