4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.A TRUE review of the Fantastic Murdoch Mysteries Collection
By Harold Wolf
The Collection IS fantastic. SIX star worthy.
Murdoch Mysteries Collection is truly one of the finest Historical Crime TV series on TV, and it continues now with Season 5 on DVD, and season 6 is also a future reality. All wonderful news for fans of this show.
IF you have not seen any, this Collection is the way to buy at a lower price. Each of the seasons are available individually, but at a significant higher price than what this listing on Amazon is asking at present, being $111.99. Original retail was $239.96. Get them and watch in any order, but watch.
It's all about a Toronto detective from late 1890's who manages to use inventive forensic modes now common in today's crime solving venue. Historic aspects of the show are as good as period sets and costuming. Historical personalities occasionally cross paths with Murdoch (Yannick Bisson). Novel adaptations of Maureen Jennings' writing, this has become a show demanded for continuation. Always intriguing, always satisfying to the eyes and mind. An intellectual and entertaining hot fudge sundae, if they had those in 1895. Sprinkled overtop are bits of Victorian romance too. Humor as well, the series has it all.
Crabtree (Jonny Harris), Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), beautiful romantic Dr. Ogden (Helene Joy), & Higgins (Lachlan Murdoch).
SDH SUBTITLES on all 52 episodes. YES, 52, that's over 41 hours of fantastic entertainment, many guest stars, and perhaps the most unique period cop show ever produced. Better than Sherlock. DVD or Blu-Ray, content is great. Honest!
