    Here's a great season of murders!

    As usual, an excellent series from Aussie. They out do the yanks every time. Great acting, very few slip ups, good filming, with good storylines. Same again please. It's a shame money had to cut the series. Money always speaks, unfortunately.

    Great detective series!

    I like everything about this show! The actors in this ensemble are natural in fulfilling their roles. I like the (sort of film noir) feel to it. And actually wish I could buy/download the quirky theme song! Only sorry it was a short-lived series.

    Murder Call - Interesting Cases and Great Characters

    I was so disappointed to see that Season 3 was the last Season. The characters and actors were terrific. This really could have gone somewhere, but like the reviewer before me stated, there needed to be an even distribution of strengths and weaknesses in the solving of the murders. They gave a good deal of character development, without getting too involved with their personal lives, which I appreciated. They kept the language clean and maintained integrity in each episode.

    I loved the fact that in each episode, they began with a murder. The music for each beginning murder was really well scripted and the theme music of murder call was classy.

    I will follow up on the real life actors and actresses to see what they are doing now. I really enjoyed their roles and the particular murders presented in each episode. They were creative and not copied from other movies or series, and I have seen plenty!

    I will really miss this show.

    Interesting plots, decent acting but simplistic, almost-moronic dialog

    I enjoyed this series (two seasons) and admired the crisp direction and technical aspects. The characters are well defined and the acting is serviceable. However, the dialog seems to be written at a grade-four level, lacking both grown-up wit and any sophistication or dynamics in the vocal interplay that distinguish these murder shows from one another. That's probably the result of the scripts being written solely to advance the plot; the characters sometimes act in a ridiculous manner, making logic-defying choices that no trained cop would make. But it is reservedly wonderful to see a series where the female plays Sherlock, solving crimes while her Watson partner scratches his head.

    Great.

    I loved this series, only complaint is Fisk, too opinionated and rude to Dee, Imogen and Hayden. The inspector gives orders, but only wants to be involved when it's a high profile crime. I know that it's just a series, but the two of them got on my nerves.
