Canadian Murder Mystery
submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on June 30, 2014, 10:16pm
This fourth season of a Canadian murder mystery television series set in Toronto continues a 19th century "CSI" in which our hero employs modern-day science and forensic techniques to uncover clues and Holmes-like logic to solve cases.
On this disc, Murdoch finds his long-lost sister, but, like so many women in his life, loses her again.
In general "Murdoch" offers an interesting slice of the era. The characters meet Nicolas Tesla, Emma Goldman, Harry Houdini, and other scientists and celebrities of the era. Although the show has one, then another, medical examiner who is a woman (which was unusual for the era), it does portray many of the prejudices of the era--against women, gays, people of color, the Irish and Catholics.
