Title: 1890's Canadian CSI... Or Worse!
Review: This series was a major disappointment. The viewer is presented with jerky flash-cut scenes, upbeat action music that in no way fits the era, and a focus on old-tech wizardry... all arrayed to disguise one-dimensional characters caught in a very thin screenplay with obvious episode plots. The concentration on gore and spaghetti shots is as off-putting as the continual barrage of politically correct messages.My wife and I were expecting a series with genuine substance. From several of the positive reviewer comments, it seems this series is considered great viewing among those who regularly buy lottery tickets. Sadly, the Murdoch Mysteries simply add to the heap of mindless titillation from which too many folks amuse themselves to death. No thanks -- not our taste.
