Cutting-edge Victorian science meets cunningly plotted mystery in this “stylish period thriller” (The Globe and Mail). In the 1890s, Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson, Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye) adopts modern techniques like “finger marks” and forensics to track Toronto’s most sinister killers. Though derided by his skeptical boss (Thomas Craig, Where the Heart Is, Coronation Street), Murdoch finds friends and allies in a lovely pathologist (Gemini®-winner Hélène Joy, Durham County) and an eager-to-learn constable (Jonny Davis, Hatching, Matching & Dispatching). Along the way they cross paths with some of the era’s most famous figures, including Nikola Tesla, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Prince Alfred.

Series spinoff based on the novels by Maureen Jennings,
By Murdoch fan (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murdoch Mysteries: Season One (DVD)
Three television adaptions of Maureen Jennings' Victorian William Murdoch novels were so successful, the broadcaster (CITY television in Canada, UKTV in Britain and Granada International) commissioned a full fledged 13 episode series. 14 Gemini award nominations for season one led to the series being renewed for season two.This collection of episodes from season one has some stellar performances.

Standout episodes in season one include an adaptation of the novel Let Loose the Dogs, Elementary My Dear Murdoch (wh

Great Series but Too Pricey,
By Mrs. SK. "joyousfive" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murdoch Mysteries: Season One (DVD)
This series is a great historical and artistic series. Not too sure about a female forensic Doctor at that time but very accurate about Toronto during the turn of the century and new forensic ideas to solve crimes.The only real drawback to this 1st DVD is the price. Way too much for a season, especially since it does not give a detailed list of what shows are on the discs. I was waiting for this to come out but not for that much money. Hopefully it will go down in price. (like Dick Van Dyke finally did.) Did not purchase till that series until it was a half decent price.
