Synopsis

Murdoch Mysteries (2008), Season 1 is a Victorian detective drama you can watch online on iFILM — thirteen episodes set in turn-of-the-century Toronto, where William Murdoch cracks murders by methods nobody around him trusts yet.

Fingerprints, blood samples, evidence read off the scene instead of guesswork. The first season is really about a forward-thinking outsider earning his place. His superiors roll their eyes, and then the cases keep closing: an electrocuted "Miss Electricity" pulls Murdoch into a feud that reaches Nikola Tesla, a séance throws him together with Arthur Conan Doyle, and a body near a pub turns into a reunion with the father he hasn't seen in years. Constable George Crabtree backs him up, while coroner Julia Ogden carves out room for a woman in a man's profession.

It's a Canadian series adapted from Maureen Jennings's novels, with Yannick Bisson in the lead. Season 1 already shows what the show runs on — deduction over chases, courtesy over fists, science over hunches — and a skeptical Inspector Brackenreid who, by the finale, grudgingly comes around.
