Is anyone else hooked on CBC's Murdoch Mysteries?

Over the past 4-5 months, we’ve binged our way from S1/E1 through S10/E11. The characters seem to have magical powers, because we’re under their spell!

8. Brokenwood is set in New Zealand. We were very happy when season 7

dropped

In fact we are working our way through it now

[Joinfortmill]

9. New Zealand. Excellent

[XanaDUer2]

15. I concur. Just through s1 so far, but it is very well done & more light than some murder mysteries

[XanaDUer2]

20. It has a Midsomer Murder vibe to me

With NZ local color. I'm going to spend tomorrow binging

[QED]

3. Raises hand

I finished watching all that was on Hulu but I think there are more episodes. Wikipedia says there were 16 seasons, 263 episodes but Hulu only went through season 13.

[QED]

6. Does Acorn have all 16 seasons?

[ariadne0614]

16. It does. n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

5. Acorn has all 16 series. Murdoch is one of our favorites!

You could do the free trial on Acorn and finish up through 16 then cancel. However a w
ord of warning: Acorn has so much good stuff!!!

[QED]

7. Looks like our posts crossed.

Thanks for the info!

14. I loved the character of George, who basically foretold two-way mirrors,

created sports play-by-play, pizza by the slice, suggested plotting for "Anne of Green Gables", and more. He even showed up in an episode of the "Frankie Drake Mysteries" wealthy and retired years later.

[ariadne0614]

17. I adore George!

My daughter works for CBC, and said the actors are just as lovable in person.

[AltairIV]

18. Another fan!

Great show, glad there are so many others enjoying it. Don't skip the Christmas episodes! And George is terrific.

19. Yes, been watching on Hulu, but not sure if their contract

was renewed. First they said it was ending in May and then June 30, but watched it yesterday.

[IcyPeas]

21. Yes! Love so many of the historical references and characters who make an appearance...

Nikola Tesla
Alexander Graham Bell
Arthur Conan Doyle
Houdini

And so many more.

And Murdochs use of early forensics is just so interesting.

I remember George discovering Pizza for the first time.

Edited to add: when I started watching it it was called "The Artful Detective" in the US.

22. The contrast to the noise and mayhem of American television is a revelation. n/t

23. Hoopla has, I believe, 15 seasons of Murdoch.

Free with a library card. Limited number of episodes (ten?) per month.

24. I love that show...I came late to the party so lots of great episodes.
