Combining the period appeal of Sherlock Holmes with the forensic fascination of CSI, this slick, stylish series has won fiercely loyal fans in the U. K. and Canada. In Victorian Toronto, handsome Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson, Sue Thomas: F. B. Eye) uses newfangled scientific techniques like finger marks to solve the city's most baffling murders. Helped by a pretty pathologist (Gemini-winner Hilhne Joy, Durham County) and an eager protg; (Jonny Harris, Hatching, Matching & Dispatching), he tries to win over his sceptical boss (Thomas Craig, Where the Heart Is) to his radical methods. Clever plot twists, sly wit, and references to historical figures add to the fun.

This 16-disc set includes the first 4 series of the long-running mystery drama.
