Detective thrills in the Age of Invention. Glad it was portrayed in Toronto, on the edge of civilization. Allows characters to develop as people instead of pawns in a concrete jungle like New York...

Murdoch was a series I had never seen, before having Acorn TV., and I love it. Up to snuff as always, Acorn has the best. (Programming as well as pricing!) Quality of the DVD's when playing is unsurpassed. Thanks.

While good humor is my favorite story line, I also like a good mystery. Watched the first "Murdoch" today and can't wait till I can sit down with the next one.(And having the background of the old city buildings is A+!!)
Great mystery series!

Murdock Mysteries are delightful! Watching Murdock invent and use early crime-solving tools and techniques is fascinating. It also never gets boring to watch Murdock ride his bicycle to each and every crime scene!! A fun series !
Good job, Acorn!

This is an excellent series -the main character (William Murdoch) uses scientific analysis and observation ala Sherlock Holmes, but combines that with a sweet, almost naive view of the world and people. I first saw this series on a Canadian television station and was hooked! Definitely worth viewing

They were well acted and very entertaining. My wife and I really enjoyed them. Watching the birth of forensic science was a lot of fun. A couple of them are obviously designed to teach us politically correct thinking - which is a negative for my wife and I.

Had seen Murdoch on PBS Masterpiece & enjoyed it. Murdoch believes in using science & scientific procedures such as taking finger 'marks' as clues. Its a mix of murder mystery and historical fact & fantasy. For ex. when characters like Nikoli Tesla and Arthur Conan Doyle appear in the show. It is historically true that both men did spend time in Toronto(where Murdoch is based) but of course no evidence of working a detective named Murdoch. Entertaining without weighing the viewer down.

Each episode is fun. Occasional historical figures (i.e.Tesla. Houdini, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle etc), 1890's cutting edge science (CSI style), Very likable, intelligent, adventuresome good guys. The bad guys are villians. The plots are good "who done it's" and without profanity (a little light spicy cursing) or gratuitous sex or violence. Just good fun.

I ordered the Sample Pack because I'm an avid fan of all the series in the box set, except for Murdoch Mysteries. I had seen a few episodes on Netflix and wasn't that impressed, but wanted the sample pack. I lent them to a friend who is a BIG fan of all British dramas and mysteries, and even she didn't care for them...only watched the first two episodes, then gave the set back to me. So, that is one series I won't order more episodes - moves too slow, for one thing.
