A TRUE review of the Fantastic Murdoch Mysteries Collection
The Collection IS fantastic. SIX star worthy.
Murdoch Mysteries Collection is truly one of the finest Historical Crime TV series on TV, and it continues now with Season 5 on DVD, and season 6 is also a future reality. All wonderful news for fans of this show.
IF you have not seen any, this Collection is the way to buy at a lower price. Each of the seasons are available individually, but at a significant higher price than what this listing on Amazon is asking at present, being $111.99. Original retail was $239.96. Get them and watch in any order, but watch.
It's all about a Toronto detective from late 1890's who manages to use inventive forensic modes now common in today's crime solving venue. Historic aspects of the show are as good as period sets and costuming. Historical personalities occasionally cross paths with Murdoch (Yannick Bisson). Novel adaptations of Maureen Jennings' writing, this has become a show demanded for continuation. Always intriguing,...
On the bandwagon...
I have to say, I jumped on this bandwagon along with everyone else who watches these shows. Great period background and the cast is perfect. I thought after watching the three movies that I wouldn't like a change in the lead character, but after watching two episodes, the change was seamless. I like the twists that always seem to pop up right at the end, you think you have the culprit figured out and wham! Totally turn in the road. I also like the storylines, using turn of the century new advancements in solving crime that only a few seem to accept readily. Fingerprinting, insect larvae age, etc., it all adds to the great entertainment. It seems like you sit down, start the show and before you know it, it's ending. Now that is both great story telling, and acting. If you are into mysteries and are looking for older settings and BBC can't air enough Masterpiece Theatre to quench your thirst, these are a definite buy--and a fantastic deal at this price. Entertainment at it's...
My Favorite T.V. Drama Series Ever
When we signed up for Netflex I scanned all the titles and chose this one because I like the Victorian Era. What I didn't count on was how much I would enjoy this series. I asked my husband to watch it with me because we never agree on what to watch (he's into all those CSI type shows). We both loved it from the start. The set designs, the period costumes, the story lines, the early forensic investigations and most of all the personalities and interactions of all the main characters who work in a Toronto police station during the late 1800's. We couldn't wait until we watched the next episode. When I realized that Netflex would no longer show Murdoch Mysteries (they only aired Seasons 1-3 until early July of 2013), I searched Amazon and ordered this collection and Season 5. You can be certain that I will be looking forward to Season 6 (2012-2013) and Season 7 (2013-2014) . I only hope that Murdoch Mysteries continues for a long time. This program is produced by CBS in Canada;...
