Mr & Mrs Murder

Mr & Mrs Murder not only clean crime scenes but also solve crimes with their very bright witty ways. I love the opening credits (music and graphics) - reminds me of the droll 1960s British Avengers, but done with with mops and hazmat suits - wonderful in every way. I read somewhere that the one and only Series ended due to the leading man's flagging energy (he was in his 60s at the time and appeared in almost every scene). Wish this show could be continued with the wonderful qualities that make it so enjoyable. I discovered it on Acorn TV (USA).

Half-way through the DVD set I had to stop and sing the praises of Mr. & Mrs. Murder. It's a big shame this series is one-season show. I'm a big fan of "who dun its" and find myself much more entertained by mysteries and crime dramas produced in countries other than the U.S. This show is a delight, from its two lead characters to its unique murder cases to its location shots of Australia.

Thank goodness I have the DVDs as I've been able to pause them to recover from laughing out loud and not miss any of the story or other lines. In the tradition of The Thin Man movies, we have a devoted Mr. & Mrs. who have a great relationship, so we're not subjected to season after season of that boring formula of "will they or won't they" when you know they always will. It's a relief to be spared this malarkey and, instead, see a couple who already have got it right. The murder cases revolve around unusual methods and atypical victims and suspects, bringing a fresh challenge to the viewer.

One might think a rating of 9 out of 10 is excessive for a lighthearted show, but the humor, mysteries, and stellar crafting of the lead roles makes this fantastic escapist TV. It's such a disappointment that there's only one season of it.

I just (2020) discovered Mr & Mrs Murder and so enjoy it! The characters are so much fun and seem to really enjoy each other. The plots are well formed. It is a thoroughly enjoyable show and I am so sad that there are only 13 episodes. Well at least there are that many!

I haven't quite gotten to the end of these, but I'm already sad that I'm running out of episodes. The murders are quite clever, as is the dialogue. The writers are very intelligent and very silly, in a good way, whether having the characters quibble about the difference between "irony" and "coincidence" or commenting on widespread adultery among actors. ("The theatre is a hotbed of hotbeds.") It's also a relief to find a show that resolves one crime per episode, so you don't have to binge a whole season to get closure. An excellent comedy/mystery.

I really enjoy this show and give it 8.5/10. It's just not predictable, well-acted, tight editing & camera work and a great script.

To start with I had low expectations as the promo was lame and the leader actor "Shaun Micallef" I felt would never be able to hold together an hour show, as I had seen him prior as a comedy compare. As it happens the series was written by Shaun & Jason Stephens and they have done a great job… well at least until episode 4 "Atlas Drugged" which is when I typed this.

To put it simply this is a truly original spin on the murder-cop show genre in which the plot whilst still clever is really a simple elevator to the clever & subtle humour, derived from delightfully timed lines and fresh comedy writing. Watch it, this is a good show and there are so few on free to air!!
