The Artful Detective

The Artful Detective (formerly called Murdoch Mysteries), now that I’ve discovered it, is my favorite TV show. I love it!

Anyone else here watch it? It’s on the Ovation channel.

“Set in early 20th century Toronto, The Artful Detective explores the intriguing world of William Murdoch, a detective who pioneers innovative forensic techniques to solve some of the city’s most gruesome crimes.”

Here, along with the video, are some good screenshots:

I think it's a fun show, I love the medical examiner, or whatever she is.

Why the name change, I wonder?

everywhere else outside the U.S. Only in the U.S. is it called The Artful Detective. I Googled to try to find out why, but I was unsuccessful.

Did you see the episode in which Inspector Murdoch and Dr. Julia Ogden make love in a park after taking some kind of drug?

Dr. Ogden is billed as a mortician and skilled pathologist. I love her too. I love both of them.

I have to find that episode! I was hoping they'd get together - but I didn't predict they'd do it that way. LOL

I like Murdoch's boss, and the young constable, too.

but I couldn't. It was great, and it really took me by surprise.

It might have been "The Green Muse," but I am not sure.

Murdoch investigates a high-class brothel after a young prostitute is murdered, and he bonds with Dr. Ogden during the case.

I like the young constable too.
