Murdoch Mysteries: Anyone watch it?

[Redbeard]

I really love this show!  I read it airs as Murdoch Mysteries in some countries or maybe the Artful Detective as well?  It is set in Toronto Canada, around the late 1890's and features a very awesome detective, William Murdoch.  I describe him as similar to Sherlock Holmes - only sweet, compassionate, and nice.   Ha . Very brilliant and makes excellent deductions as well.  In fact, in one episode the character of Arthur Conan Doyle visits Toronto and meets Murdoch.   I can't remember but I think the implication is that Doyle goes on to base Holmes on this brilliant detective he once met...its all in good fun though. 

There are lots of in-jokes regarding inventions that are going to come in the future. 

I just find it a really cool shoiw. 

Anyone else watch?

I don't think I am up to date on watching the seasons though - I think there are 7 or 8 ?  I am only about halfway through. 

Of course the lead actor is a cutie-pie, not that I care about such things.

I'm watching it on Acorn TV. It's a really well written and performed. And it has appearances by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and a young fellow who not only believes that he is Sherlock Holmes but is a brilliant at crime solving.  It's rather fun over all.

In the episode I just watched Sir Arthur meets the young man and is inspired to bring his literary Holmes back from Reichenbach Falls.

Of all the U.S detective series that I was late coming to-and I think that's virtually all of them!...

can I hereby declare that this is my favourite.

I like elements of Elementary.

I LOVE The Mentalist.

But this, just moves me...
