- StarsEssie DavisNathan PageHugo Johnstone-BurtA female sleuth sashays through the back lanes and jazz clubs of Melbourne in the late 1920s, fighting injustice with her pearl-handled pistol and her dagger-sharp wit.As the TV mystery genre goes, 'Miss Fisher' is rather saucy. There's much written about how this series doesn't completely live up to the novels (not a problem for us); that being said, it is a brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable series. Production values are first rate (particularly wardrobe, set, location, etc.) and casting is spot on. While some might argue that the mystery narratives may be somewhat derivative of the genre (as many mysteries as we watch, none of it ever gets old), the lead provides for refreshingly strong character reversal (also see 'Annika Bengtzon' (TV, 2001-12), 'New Tricks' (TV, 2003-13), & 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' (2009/11), among others). This series deserves further development with additional seasons (wonderful that a third has been confirmed!).
If you've enjoyed 'Miss Fisher', consider: 'Marple'
(TV, 2004-), 'Mr & Mrs Murder' (TV, 2013), 'Murder in Suburbia' (TV, 2004-5), 'No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency ' (TV, 2008), 'Rosemary & Thyme' (TV, 2003-6), 'Hetty Wainthropp Investigates' (TV, 1996-8), 'An Unsuitable Job for a Woman' (TV, 1997), 'Vera' (TV, 2011-13), & 'Prime Suspect' (TV, 1991-2006).
Also consider: 'Death in Paradise' (TV, 2011-2013), 'Houdini & Doyle' (TV, 2016), 'Dorothy L. Sayers Mystery' (TV, 1987), 'Vexed' (TV, 2010), 'Helen West' (TV, 2002), 'The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries' (TV, 1998-2000), 'Silent Witness' (TV, 1996-2013), 'Sanctuary' (TV, 2007-11), 'Blue Murder' (TV, 2003-9), 'Vincent' (TV, 2005-6), 'Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime' (AKA 'Tommy & Tuppence'; TV, 1983-4), 'Page Eight' (TV, 2011), 'Partners in Crime' (TV, 2015), & 'Haven' (TV, 2010-13).
'Miss Fisher' is certainly saucy; highly recommended!!!

Available on NF [as of 03/15]... - CreatorHoward OvermanStarsToby StephensRonny JhuttiRoger GriffithsTwo Detectives Jack and Georgina who share chemistry but have complicated personal lives.A light and humorous two-season series that is great fun to watch! Biggest complaints seem to be that there was a lead change in between seasons, but both female leads are great [for different reasons], I would even go so far as to say that the chemistry may have improved somewhat [huge LP fan here!]; although, if I had my way, they would make a great threesome!

I was a little late to the party on this one, but so very glad I stumbled upon it, as it combines two of my favorite genres [mystery & horror, with a little rom-com sprinkled in]. A little bit of Kolchac, Constantine, Grimm, Grantchester, and even some Father Brown/Dowling [maybe even a little Ted!] in this way too short series [seven episodes]... If you don't mind demons in your mysteries, this is a fun view!
This series needs DVD/BDs produced!

Along the way, he tries to uncover the mystery to his 200-year-old immortality.Quincy/Bones meets McCallum, meets Sleepy Hollow, meets Elementary, meets Strange, meets Castle, meets Finder, meets Highlander?
