Murdoch Mysteries is a Canadian dramaseries which is aired on City The serie premiered on January 24, 2008.
A Victorian-era Toronto detective uses then-cutting edge forensic techniques to solve crimes, with the assistance of a female coroner who is also struggling for recognition in the face of tradition, based on the books by Maureen Jennings.
Crime with a little history lesson per episode. Lighthearted, never really scary, exciting or real action. An occasional episode, it's nice to watch. Handsome leading man.
A very nice relaxing series with some serious dramas. Things go downhill from season 5 onwards, with absurd things regularly appearing, such as: It is 1904, Murdoch invents a wireless communication system, including an ear device that goes completely into the ear + a hidden microphone. He then quickly invents the camera and a screen that looks damn well like a modern LCD screen. There are episodes where people say, what was I watching. The previously intelligent detective becomes dumber and dumber.
