User Reviews

 
light and fun needs time to find its feet.
18 December 2017 | by bd-allen – See all my reviews

Miss Fishers' murder mysteries is a favourite of mine so I wanted to check this out too. A little disappointed. Costumes and set design are fine but the lead actress plays it with very little emotion and delivers her lines like she's not emotionally connected to the role. It is early days and that sometimes it takes a while for a an actor to know her character and I hope this happens.

It does have potential and the supporting cast are quite fun. Not being familiar totally with the era I'm not sure of the historical accuracy but I can put that aside if it gets a little more gritty while still having a bit of fun.

I do enjoy the banter between the characters so will keep watching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I am very interested in how this show and Murdoch Mysteries both feature young black women in careers I would not even think most women could hold for the times both shows are set. A detective and a coroner. If anyone has a good history book or place to research this, I am very interested in the historical aspect of this.
