When I first reviewed this series for another site several years ago, I gave The Murdoch Mysteries, an emphatic endorsement. Regrettably, since then, like so much other entertainment, its become a vehicle for woke ideologues to push their brand of "intolerant, tolerance" on viewers.Its revisionism is, to make matters worse,completely out of touch with the period in which this series is set. My advice, watch the first 10 or so seasons, they offer up a uniquely Canadian take on Agatha Christie style murder mysteries, albeit set in a slightly earlier, Victorian and Edwardian period. Acting is excellent, the episodic tales of crime, presented in a polite, gentlemanly manner, that reflects the attitudes of the series, key protagonist, Detective William Murdoch. In summary, a once great show tainted by the usual preachy, lecturing, woke nonsense, many of us wish would just "go away".

I completely concur with MovieGuys. My wife and I loved this show and up until around season 12, to maybe 13, this show is a wonderful period piece. Acting is great, character and story development are very entertaining. However, as with so many shows these days, it has died the death of a thousand ideologies.
