Miss Fisher’s murder Mysterise Series 2

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The 2014 Christmas Special is one of the best television mysteries I’ve viewed the past year!It’s July 1919 and Phryne takes Aunt Prudence, Dot and Mac on a Christmas in July trip to Alexandra Mountain. Actually, Phryne has turned the trip into a vacation. Its real purpose is to take Aunt Prudence to the mountains for business. Her late husband, Edward Stanley, was senior partner in the Stanley Mine. The mine has been closed for a decade, since the Christmas Eve cave-in that took the lives a many miners. Aunt Prudence was there at the time, and it sends shivers up her spine as she remembers ghostly voices singing after the cave-in. She and the junior partner, Nicholas Mortimer, are meeting to sign the papers to sell the mine.- Happy Reader

The Acorn DVD sets for this show have one ridiculous flaw, one for which Acorn should receive no end of hate mail: There is no episode list for either DVD set. Each disc is labeled with the episodes contained on that disc, but no other information is provided. Why do they do this? Early “Northern Exposure” disc sets had the same shortcoming. There is no excuse for such an oversight.”Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries” takes up where season 1 left off, more or less. The story arc has already been established with nothing much being added in season two: If you’ve watched Season 1 then you know how Dot and the girls came to live with Miss Fisher; how Bert and Cec, and Mr. Butler came into her orbit and the trajectory of the romances between Miss Fisher and Jack; Dot and Collins. No new cast members are added, and early in season two the romance betwixt Phryne and Jack seems to have been squelched—this is fixed by the end of the series. All in all the tone is what seems to have changed most. Some of the later shows in season 2 seem a bit more dark than any in season 1.- Gryphonisle

Season 2 of MISS FISHER’S MURDER MYSTERIES, set in 1928 Melbourne, Australia continues the series. Essie Davis portrays the lead character the Honorable Phryne Fisher (pronounced Fry-nee). She is an intelligent, charming, feisty, and thoroughly modern woman operating in the post-war, still predominantly male dominated world. After inheriting a title and wealth due to the unfortunate deaths of all the heirs preceding her, in the Great War, Phryne has resettled in Melbourne, from an extended stay in Paris and London, to set up as a “lady detective.”- Cherie Jung, Publisher, Over My Dead Body!
