Mr & Mrs Murder

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!

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.

Loved this series when it first aired and I'm loving watching it again on Stan! It's a shame only one season was made as it's such a light-hearted and enjoyable who-done-it. Shaun Micallef and Kat Stewart are brilliant, as always.

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 have just watched it for the first time and was so disappointed to find it only ran one season.

This couple was quirky and fun and got each other the way you always hope your other half will. This is definitely worth watching.

I hope the executive was that decided to cancel this show was also canceled. Being 6 years ago, it's probably to get the show back with the same writers, actors etc but someone should try.
