Storyline

In the late 1890s, police Inspector William Murdoch takes a new, more scientific approach to solving crimes. Assisted by coroner Dr. Julia Ogden and Constable George Crabtree, Murdoch introduces such concepts as finger marks and lie detecting machines. He has the support of his somewhat doubtful superior, Inspector Brackenreid, though at times, even he finds Murdoch's methods - and claims - somewhat astounding.

User Reviews

Great Canadian series

I love this series. It's our own. It's Canadian. It's simple but sophisticated. The character of Murdoch is a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Benton Fraser, the Mountie in Due South. And as someone said all the characters play off each other so well. It's a challenge to try and recognize some of the city's architecture. There's a nice balance of historical fact and fiction in the episodes that keep you interested. I keep waiting to see if the relationship between Dr. Julia Ogden and Murdoch comes to fruition but its like Castle and Becket in Castle, Rab and Mac in JAG or Ziva and DaBozo on NCIS. Just enough action to keep you hanging on and add some balance(love interest) to the show.
