natalie-81839 I have to say that having watched and truly enjoyed 10+ TV show seasons of the newer Murdoch Mysteries with Yannick Bisson, Thomas Craig, Helene Joy, and Jonny Harris, I had extremely hard time getting through these older three movies ... Perhaps these movies are more true to the Victorian reality so they are darker and totally humorless, but I didn't warm up to any of the characters, and especially the inspector (Colm Meaney) put me off with his shouting and boorishness.

Randi Murdoch and Ogden are good characters. The mysteries in and of themselves are intriguing and enjoyable, and there is a wee bit of humor. However, many, perhaps most of the characters and their dialog is ugly. Perhaps this is realistic, but I prefer movies that build me up, not gross me out. Much of the casting and acting was mediocre.

jcoldwater Very smart and entertaining show! Maybe people will look into some of these story lines and see how our reality is orchestrated by the few banking families holding the world hostage?? Hope springs eternal! END THE FED! THE WORLD BANK AND THE IMF... Etc!That was all I had to say, but since I need to say more, I will comment on a couple of my favorite episodes. The one about the monetary and government philosophies. Notice, the plot to blame the Anarchists for "fomenting dissent" was created by the Capitalists! And that plot could have started a war! It happens with wars to this day. False flags! Look them up! Educate yourselves!The very first episode... "Power" showed us how we could have all been free a long time ago through the intelligent use of technology, resources and FREE energy, but notice AGAIN how PROFITS for the "Few" were more important than actual progress for ALL of earth's inhabitants. If true freedom could have been experienced then, it could be now.We must make these "out of touch" people see the error of their ways by making them and their money irrelevant!

agni0504 It was such a delight to watch The Murdoch Mysteries! It has everything: fine cast, beautiful locations, interesting storyline. I do not know whether the stories were accurate adaptations of the novels, because I did not read them. I simply enjoyed the series.I think Peter Outerbridge was an excellent choice for Murdoch, his detective is handsome, curious, clever and brave enough to try new methods of investigation. Keeley Hawes was also great, sad that she was left out from episode 3. The supporting cast was fine too.The set and locations were convincing, just like in the Granada Sherlock Holmes series.Does anyone know why the series ended after 3 eps? I read that there is a new series with new cast and shorter episodes, but I did not see any of them, only promos. It was quite odd for me to see Yannick Bisson as Murdoch, I think Outerbridge was a better choice.
