Great period dress & accoutrements, mysteries, and a strong female lead character! Well done!

Strong visuals, strong acting, great costumes. I came across this backwards, via the followup movie, and this series is a big improvement. -- Not great art, mind you, but very good entertainment. Fun viewing, fairly light, and Essie Davis…

I love series that are period and give a story from the woman's point of view. This Australian series is lots of fun and very nicely produced. How well they reproduce the 1920's, I cannot say, but the costumes are wonderful. The acting…

i can't help but feel that i'm being condescended to by the cover art: short hair cut ('the bob'); little pistol. is it supposed to turn me on--or the female fans?

So far, I love it!! Thank you KCLS for having this gem of a series. And, it has subtitles!! Essie Davis is outstanding and surrounded by a great supporting cast. The costumes, lavish. UPDATE: Just finished Series 1 and it was riveting. The…

This series is very entertaining if a bit unbelievable. The costumes are fabulous and the acting is first-class. There is a real attraction between the actors and it gets lost in the "big" movie that was made after Miss Fisher left for…

I have noticed this series for years on the DVD shelves, but never got the chance to watch it. I have also seen the books, and hope to read one eventually. Wonderful series set in the Roaring 20's era, I also liike how it deals with…

This is a must watch series for murder mystery fans. Phryne Fisher is a riot of a leading lady: bold, daring, and adventurous. The plots are engaging as are the supporting characters. The only downside is that it only lasted for three…

. This is such a charming series and the leads are terrific! The minor characters are a joy to watch as well, even Aunt Prudence grows on you. I don't especially like the 1920s era and most mystery shows jip you out of any possibility of…

Excellent series. I returned it late yesterday but still does not show checked in. Sorry all you people waiting. I brought it back but I don't think they have the personnel to check in returns. I love the costumes, the story line and…

A fantastic series for fans of historical mysteries. I love the period clothing and the look of Melbourne, Australia during its heyday!

My first contact with Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries occurred several months ago when I stumbled into the midst of an episode on PBS. I felt lost and just couldn't get into the story. It wasn't until about a month ago that I discovered…

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is a fabulous Deco era murder mystery. Phryne Fisher is a daring and audacious leading lady, balanced by her steadfast companion Dot. The mysteries are well written and entertaining and each presents a…

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Season 1 is a delightful introduction to the Australian detective and her companions. From the invincible Phryne Fisher herself, to the effervescent Dot, to the stoic Mr. Butler and dynamic duo Bert and Cec,…

Fun! Some great costumes! I don't think she wore the same outfit twice in the whole season!

I love this delightful period crime procedural with a smart leading lady. If you're a fashion buff, you could watch it for the gorgeous costumes alone. And if you're not a fan already, now's the perfect time to dive in because they've been…

This series is a cutesy look at a fictitious sassy female detective in 1920's Melbourne. If you are looking for a spicy series, this one is not it. It is pure G rated viewing.

We love the series, began watching it on Knowledge network but missed the beginning of the series. Very interesting to learn about the challenges the people experienced during the 1920's. Love the period costumes!

We are quite enjoying this series - it's light, interesting & as stated by others, the outfits are fabulous - great ideas for anyone wanting to have a 'great 'gatsby party'.....

The australian 1920s version of a police procedural but a lot more fun and entertaining that its american counterparts. great characters, amazing costumes, and witty dialogue

Vulgar and offensive

This seemed super cool in the beginning but then became very repetitive and boring. Watch it if you like the look of the 1920's and following a courageous lady detective. Otherwise, the mystery solving is an after thought.

Very good indeed. Period mysteries done by a very accomplished cast and grew. Continues the high standards of Aussie serials lately.
