Murdoch Mysteries
Forensic sleuthing in the age of invention.
Created by Maureen Jennings
On CBC Television, Citytv
A cosy Victorian procedural that pairs period charm with forensic ingenuity, solving cases weekly while celebrating human connection and scientific progress.
A Victorian-era Toronto detective uses then-cutting edge forensic techniques to solve crimes, with the assistance of a female coroner who is also struggling for recognition in the face of tradition, based on the books by Maureen Jennings.
