Mr & Mrs Murder

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.

As a fan of the 'who dun it 'genre I love this show , from the groovy credits and music to the locations and story lines. Shaun is a genius. I love how they play the characters and how the stories unfold . Especially the quirky humor in the 1st episode with their mate in the wheelchair who seemed to know a lot more about murder than was healthy to know. Melbourne seems to be a great location for these plots to play out. I do hope the characters will have to travel for work and more cases so we can see more of Victoria. By and large I haven't liked any other Australia productions since the 80's comedy scene. Keep 'em coming' I say !

When you read more than 1/2 dozen reviews of an obscure TV series, and they are all positive, it kind of makes you take notice. And notice should be taken of this little gem. It stacks up respectfully with Nick and Nora, Mr & Mrs North and just about any amateur sleuth~husband/wife teaming. It does raise 2 questions - why are they so much better at making quality, entertaining television series in Australia, New Zealand and the UK then we are in the states? The other question - why do the shows in Australia stop before their time? Mr & Mrs Murder ran 13 episodes. Unlike American series, each episode stands alone, and can be enjoyed (no recurring bad guy or sinister underlying subplot ie Red John from the mentalist or Jack from The Profiler). But then it just went away - no 2nd season (series). can't figure that one out. More confusing was the end of the Dr Blake Mysteries. Ratings were great, fan base was strong - but they cancelled (or didn't renew) it at the top of it's form. My recommendation; track down Mr & Mrs Murder but don't binge watch it, take it one episode at a time. Just about the perfect blend of mystery and comedy.

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.

It appears the Austrailians are every bit as good at crafting entertaining mysteries as their as their English cousins. A case in point is "Mr & Mrs Murder", a light-hearted Austrailian cozy mystery originally aired in 2013. Shaun Micallef plays Charlie Buchanan and Kat Stewart plays his wife Nicola. Together they operate a crime scene cleaning service, making them ideally suited for finding evidence and clues overlooked by the police. Micallef and Stewart imbue their characters with enough quirks and foibles that makes them entertaining and just slightly over-the-top. My wife and I have viewed this series many times and find something new and enjoyable with each viewing. Highly recommended!
