Murdoch Mysteries

I’ve decided that my new thing is going to be watching Murdoch Mysteries. There’s just so much of it. 18 seasons - so far! It’s filmed in Toronto, and all around Ontario. Apparently former PM Stephen Harper had a walk-on role?

In the first episode “Miss Toronto Electric and Light” is murdered by electricity. Irony!

Yannick Bisson (Murdoch) has a real John Reardon (Hudson) quality that gives me high hopes for this as a very Canadian sort of “why do they continue to go there!” murder mystery show. Like, why do people keep going to the Hudson and Rex version of St. John’s? It is so small and there is literally a murder a week now. They used to do more kidnappings but lately it’s all just murder. Murdoch is murder right off the bat!

Wish me luck in my new journey to become an afficianado of Canadian crime shows.
