COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Fun series for fans of forensic dramas submitted by willow on June 29, 2014, 1:52pm The entire series is a fun take on CSI-type crime dramas, but set more than one hundred years ago. Also includes personal stories of the characters, so not purely about the crimes. Mny tongue-in-cheek references.

Wholesome Fun submitted by apicknell on July 17, 2015, 4:32pm There are not a lot of series I can say that about with vigor. Murdoch is a wholesome character. He is a man of virtue in Victorian Toronto working to move policing methods into the future. Yannick Bisson is great at playing the straight man in a room full of comedy. The stories usually follow a tradition crime scene procedural, but the Victorian setting and technology make the puzzle all the more exciting!
