MURDOCH MYSTERIES: THE MOVIES

I thought I would get the original Murdoch mysteries since I have all 15 seasons of the new series. In comparison, the original shows are darker and less humorous. However, I enjoyed them just as much as the new series.I would definitely recommend.

Great DVD. As advertised.

We'd heard a lot about the Murdoch Mysteries tv series, but hadn't seen a single episode. We decided we'd start with this set of movies, which were made prior to the television series.There are plenty of reviews here detailing everything about the movies, so I'll just say that we thoroughly enjoyed each of the films in this little collection. They were an enjoyable introduction to the television series. So much so, that we've moved on to Season 1 of the series. (NOTE: The actors in the movies are not the same actors who star in the tv series.)If you already like the Murdoch series, give these movies a try. If you've never seen any Murdoch Mysteries at all, start here!

A excellent 📀 DVD.

So funny heard from both friends and read reviews here where people didn't take to the series version because they liked these movies that came out ahead of the series. Well we were late to the party and watched the seven years of the series in binge style first then ran out of years released to date so picked up the movies. And we happen to favor the series more. So funny.....life can be. On a trivia note it was delightful to see the actress who plays Julia in the Series a villian in the third and last movie here. So from villian to heroin. If you are interested in the series...we recommend you watch it first then like us turn to the movies to hold you over and you may see why we favor the series...it basically has had the time to develop characters and pull you into them. But the movies are not without merit just not as fully developed and they lost several key characters in the last movie they had in the first two like the head chief of police. Spoiled we are.

The first movie was okay. Introduced all the characters & the setting. The second one was really good, although a little dark. The third one was excellent! Made me wish for more. These are unlike the TV show. Longer, so more depth to the characters, less hype of the famous people of the era.

The movies start out slow, maybe it's because it's not the same characters that we are used to if you started watching the series but the pace picks up a little and they are enjoyable. A must if you like the series and can't wait for more.

My wife and I have enjoyed the ongoing Murdoch Mysteries television series. The popular series is everything we look for in quality end of the day entertainment. The product featured is, in my humble opinion, a radical departure from what we've grown so fond of. The three stories are gritty and somewhat slow moving. The actors to put it quite bluntly, are simply not going to get an A+ for physical attractiveness. My wife lets me know that the "other" Murdoch is much better looking! The lighting is often dim. The police offices have dirty, peeling paint, and a small dim morgue that isn't nearly as nice as the one most of us have become accustomed to seeing. The second and third episodes are easier on the eyes-better lighting and more outside scenes. While this lacks the jazzy stuff, it offers a deeply moving departure from eight seasons of fluff 'n stuff. The primary actors are superb, gimmicks aren't needed. Give it a try.

We bought these films because we like the programme,but when we tried to play them they won't play on English systems

Thank you for the dvd

These movies are as good as the later tv series. Helene Joy stars in the third movie not as Dr Ogden but her appearance in this movie apparently lead to the author of the books suggesting her the Dr Ogden role

Liked this even though as I love Murdoch mysteries.

Enjoyed these films. Been watching the tv series and really like that. Films slightly more serious. It is a shame they haven't made any more.
