Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

SoCal I was surprised to see one reviewer note that the Phryne Fisher of the books was about 27 years old. I have never thought of her as a day younger than mid-40s, that is, about the age of Essie Davis. Seriously, a twenty-something with Miss Fisher's depth of humanity and practical knowledge? "Worldliness" is more than being sexually experienced; Miss Fisher's worldliness results from immersion in many areas of human interest over years, hardly possible for someone in her 20s.Also sorry to read here that there will be no more episodes. Two other of our favorites, The Coroner and Home Fires, have also been discontinued.

piet_tin This show is one of the best murder-series I have seen in a long time. I actually like it better then the series with Miss Marple with which it has been compared because there always seems to be a kind of contact with the viewer. Especially Jack Robinson makes remarks like if he is aware of the viewer which gives it an extra kind of fun. I also like, as others have said the big role for World War One in the series which must indeed have had a great impact on society. At last I really liked the surviving attitude Miss Fisher has with morals people in modern ages could learn from. It is not a show settled in the twenties but a show bridging the twenties to our modern time in a pleasant ironic way. I hope there will after all be a fourth series.

pjrandall Intriguing character relationships, absolutely fantastic costume designs. Although a murder series, you're not really exposed to the violence leading up to the act. Sexual innuendo is not in your face and no vulgar language. All in all a show that is great for family viewing. Too many TV shows are far too sexual, far too demoralizing for the family and use far too much vulgar language and innuendo. Hoping this will be a very very long running show.Reminiscent of shows like Bones, Murdoch Mysteries, Murder She Wrote and a few other BBC shows, sadly which some have been cancelled in favor of non family friendly television shows. Let's hope the big TV moguls learn that most viewers want decent TV programming.

umasub-34315 Recently found this show on Netflix and it has made me a total addict. The cast, costumes and the period settings are superb. I also love the variety of settings in each story line - from circuses to factories to beaches. As for Ms Fisher and the Inspector - well I can't wait for their scenes together, and for their story line to develop. Above all else the show stands out for making ms fisher a truly liberated woman of her times, without compromising on her feminine charms. Essie Davis and the restrained acting from the Inspector are priceless. I am still in season one and am rationing how much I see each week as I don't want it to end.This show is Great help in my withdrawal symptoms from Downtown Abbey!
