Murdoch Mysteries!

OK.  I don't know about you but I am crazy for Murdoch Mysteries !

Must have been too busy selling homes in the last few years because I only discovered it, quite by accident last summer.  During off times I was all over the internet looking for the past episodes and was able to watch them all (3 seasons!) before they were taken down...lucky me.  I just love this series!  They are based on the books of author Maureen Jennings of the same title.  Season 4 has just started airing on City-TV and I am thrilled and enthralled! 

A beautifully acted and conceived series filmed in Victorian settings in and around the City of Toronto.  They film in many southern Ontario locations because I can imagine its not easy to find completely unspoiled Victorian homes and buildings these days.  Its Victorian era murder mysteries and a Detective, William Murdoch - wonderful Yannick Bisson - who uses far-reaching investigative techniques to solve the murders.  The cast of characters and the suppporting actors, Hélène Joy, Thomas Craig and Jonny Harris who portray them are wonderful too!

The scenery, use of historical archival maps and photos of the city, the clothing, the mannerisms, the acting, the writing is all fantastic.  I'm hooked!

If you haven't had the chance to see it...I highly recommend you do!  It airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on City-TV.  You can watch recent episodes online too.
