Murdoch Mysteries season7

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Murdoch Mysteries aka the Artful Detective on the Ovation Channel is the best show on TV!! I love this show it’s just great. Good story lines, superb acting and great scenery. All around good show – minus all the usual violence. Even though Detective Murdoch works only homicide cases – the murder is the final result of a truly great script. Every season is just marvelous!!!-Kristin Carter

Want an entertaining escape to a simpler time? Well, this is one that also provides some light historical references, a good mystery solved with human intelligence and ingenuity. The actors themselves are not as familiar to United State viewers as to their Canadian viewers but become well-rounded and provide insight into the eternal nature of the conflict or individuals trying to fit into the norms of their society while trying to adapt those to better fit their individuality. People who like the cozy style mystery will feel at home and may find interesting historical glimpses: people who like period fiction with romance and humor will feel at home. It is not for those who want action-packed cars chases: horses could outrun the cars at the time.-Fiona Cat

I debated three or four stars. Three, because the plots follow a somewhat rigid line. Four, because I happen to find the show just, well, relaxing. One doesn’t have to think much, the characters are fun — esp. now that Jonny Harris has been given more presence on the show — and there are a few over-arching plots that run through seasons and episodes — enough to make it interesting. Also, the historical angle is good, both in terms of how, through the seasons, newer inventions and technologies are incorporated into the police work and social/cultural environment, and we get to meet real-life people, such as Thomas Edison. I enjoy best when the crew goes off to Newfoundland and films off set — very nice. Otherwise, the series is supposedly set in Toronto, and Canada at that time has a different enough history from our own to add a dimension of interest. There are two sets of love interests — finally, one seems to have been resolved, just as another breaks down. The downside, I find, is that some of the ensemble acting team are better than others. It’s pretty clear. But: there is humor, there is mystery, there is history, and there is nothing too troubling or violent about this show, so it’s just, well, relaxing. I’ve watched them all, much to my surprise.-Mz Paws
