    Canadian’s and Brits are in love with Detective Murdoch.

    His overly made-up face is distracting. No man should ever wear that much eyeliner! I miss ,and much prefer, British “Mystery!” shows, not Canadian ones…

    Found out today that the show is back on March 23rd with Til Death Do us part.
    But this show is a co production with the UK and Canada. And also the main cast consists of an Australian, Helene Joy, Tom Craig who is British and two Canadians Jonny Harris and Yannick Bisson.
    The author is British who wrote the books and the producer is also British.

    Wow, where did that strong reaction to Canadian mysteries come from? It’s only one show, so don’t feel threatened. Unless you’re afraid there might be more? :)
