An absolute cinematic disaster.

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.

If whispered monologues were currency, Murdoch Mysteries would settle the national debt.

Watched Murdoch Mysteries so you don't have to. You're welcome.

If Murdoch Mysteries was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Murdoch Mysteries.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Murdoch Mysteries?

Look, I wanted to love Murdoch Mysteries. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Hot Take: Murdoch Mysteries's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the Murdoch Mysteries performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

The cinematography in Murdoch Mysteries is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Rewatched Murdoch Mysteries last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Murdoch Mysteries?

Director clearly thought Murdoch Mysteries was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
