Jbird65 I thought this would be somewhere along the lines of Murdoch Mysteries and Republic of Doyle, but it isn't. Predictable with truly lousy acting all counts. I gave it 6 episodes to be sure and it is definitely one to avoid.
susanblackmith A wonderful detective story, without falling in any of the common marketing tricks used nowadays to shock audiencias like sex, interracial couples or gay couples. The characters are wonderful and the plots perfect to a family audience.
timothy-price-794-581328 Stylish Private Detective series, carried very amiably by a charming cast, in a light, Castle type 'not too serious' way, set in the 1920's with fun music, and excellent attractive settings, and with excellent costumes too - overall very much enjoyed, I hope it extends to further (and longer) series, which given the longevity of it's 'set earlier' stablemate, Murdoch, it really should. And good to see the main protagonists all Female....
bd-allen Miss Fishers' murder mysteries is a favourite of mine so I wanted to check this out too. A little disappointed. Costumes and set design are fine but the lead actress plays it with very little emotion and delivers her lines like she's not emotionally connected to the role. It is early days and that sometimes it takes a while for a an actor to know her character and I hope this happens. It does have potential and the supporting cast are quite fun. Not being familiar totally with the era I'm not sure of the historical accuracy but I can put that aside if it gets a little more gritty while still having a bit of fun.I do enjoy the banter between the characters so will keep watching.
