Because I've read some reviews slagging this show I want to stand in defence of one of the best Canadian shows ever. I am a late viewer of Murdoch Mysteries but once I started I was impressed with the characters, the humour and the historical references. I love the CGI recreations of historical Toronto and all the celebrities of the day that make their appearances in the police station. I love the sets and the attention to detail in all the props that would be appropriate for that time. The writers have a deep knowledge and appreciation of Canadian and world history of the period that is unique among similar shows. I hope this series continues forever. Keep up the good work.
