So many aspects of this show are blatant copies of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.It is set in the 1920's, has a main female lead who solves crimes and who adores men. She dresses with flair, indulges herself in all pleasures, has a friend in the police force, has several quirky off- siders,(though female in this case) has no time for racism, can fight, is able to traverse various social levels, is beautiful, spirited and charming, has a keen intellect and can turn her hand to almost anything. The main difference is that the lead actress just doesn't quite gel. I liked her in a previous show I saw her in, but she is just too modern in her intonation, movements and mannerisms. I wanted to love this show but it is a pale copy and needs a lot more individuality.
