Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries

...but don't use the name Fisher. This is a poor attempt to cash in on Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries well-deserved reputation.

I watched this show with an open mind as the trailers I saw depicted it as not my usual cup of tea. After watching the first episode I have to say that I'm glad I kept the open mind as this show is a little Aussie gem & I give it a solid 7 star rating. Lots of fun & well worth watching.

In line with the original series this spinoff is a welcome series full of mystery, twists, humor and quirks that make this a huge success.

It's not Miss Fisher. It's Ms Fisher. It's clever. It has humour. It has many of Phrynies quirks just shining through. I'm very happy with the reworked series.

I quite like the series with its 60s vibe and the allusions to the Avengers. Yet it also is realistic enough to show police corruption which was probably way worse then then now. Geraldine Hakewill is fantastic as the leading lady but the supportinmg cast is also a joy to watch. The storylines are original and entertaining. My only misgivings about this series is that I always get the impression that each episode is about 15 to 30 minutes too long. It's milking the stories for more than they are worth. But other than that it is fun to watch if not as groundbreaking as the original Miss Fisher series.
