In reply to HannahWak1. I'm glad you enjoy this show, Hannah. I do as well. Plus, as a leading man, I think Murdoch's persona is too cute! :)

I LOVE Murdoch Mysteries, it’s the few CBC shows that I actually enjoy; and it’s so amazing.

It’s a great show, one my wife and I are binge-watching. I think perhaps you made a mistake in referring to Crabtree as Murdoch’s “prodigy” (an entertaining character, no doubt, but Crabtree is certainly no prodigy) – perhaps you meant “protege”?

In reply to Jordan Finch.

I as curious as to why the writer’s merely “throw” the viewer into the characters lives without introduction. I agree. The way in which the episode opens, we would suspect that we’ve missed an episode. Makes me wonder if there was a pilot film or series that didn’t make the DVD release or air.

I’m glad to know you are enjoying what you’ve seen, Jordan! I enjoy many of the historical series (like Foyle’s War along with the romance costume dramas) and modern crime drama, so combining the two genres was really perfect.

Glad this was helpful. I watched a couple installments myself last night – I’m already up to season four and still liking it. 🙂

I started watching “Murdoch Mysteries” yesterday evening after reading
about it here. If you hadn’t mentioned that the pilot didn’t introduce
the characters (as would be expected from the first episode of a show), I
would’ve thought I’d missed an episode. That being said, they did
indeed do a much better job in the second episode of setting everybody
up and helping you connect the characters to one another. I’ve only
made it as far as that, but I like “MM” as much as I do any current-day
crime procedural. It reminds me a lot of the historical
romance/mystery series I’m fond of, so it’s a perfect show for me!
Here’s hoping Netflix picks up the rest of the seasons so I’m not left
hanging, and thanks for the review that found me my binge-watching show
for Valentine’s Day.
