Great storytelling, sets true to time and place, appealing characters played by fine actors. in a set of 18 episodes with extra features. Fans enjoy seeing the characters grow and change as they solve mysteries, often with the help or hindrance of historical figures like Mark Twain, Bat Masterson and others. For Murdoch fans, the famous 100th episode is here with the long-awaited wedding.

The product arrived quickly, and the series is, of course, excellent. However, season 5 through 8 disks were not in a box, and two of them arrived too bent to play. A disappointment since I thought I was purchasing a new, complete set.

I found the Murdoch Mysteries to very entertaining... interspersing good ol' detective work with some pre-modern scientific investigation. The story line seems to grab and hold on to one's interest... I was always wanting to move to the next chapter in the story. This series shows that some of our 'modern' interests/problems/perceptions are not really so modern at all and have been around for some time. Some of the characters that are introduced are famous folks that we all have a very basic knowledge of if not a detailed knowledge of their later life... such as Thomas Alva Edison and Winston Churchill. The only down side is that now I'm dying to get a look at the next chapter/season which is of course Season 9 and not available just yet. Let's hope it hurries right on out there!

This series stands out by itself just because of how well acted it is every week. What sets it apart is the MacGyver mentality of the chief character Detective Murdoch. Not only is he well read, he id also totally open to any and all ideas that promote intelligent thought. Reminds me of Sherlock Holmes, but on a much simpler level. It does touch on "issues" from time to time that they try to hit you over the head with, but I'll forgive that defect if kept to a minimum (it is Canada right??????). Buy it if you want to be stimulated intellectually for 46 minutes (no commercials) per episode.

Setting of series, the script, characters, you name it this series has it and keeps viewer wanting more!! Everything about this series was rivitting , made you want to be there yourself. I'm glad to own this set. Will watch again and again. Even the men here loved it as well. This was a brilliantly written series. They just don't make them like this anymore. On the down side, two chacaters were written like a soap opera. Aside from that, it's well worth the purchase.
