I found this lovely Canadian gem on Netflix! Detective William Murdoch (Bisson) investigates murders in 1890's Toronto, with the help of his medical examiner Dr. Julia Ogden (Joy), Inspector Brackenreid (Craig), and Constable Crabtree (Harris).
It has a Sherlock Holmes-style of solving crimes, using new forensic evidence to catch the killers. The introduction of modern items also comes into play, such as periscopes, motorcycles, lie-detectors, wireless communication, finger-printing, and other things in forensic police shows that you wouldn't expect to see in this era.
It's too bad only one season is on Netflix. But I'm really enjoying this season 1. I wonder when Murdoch and Julia are going to get together?!
