This is one the best mystery shows around. Not only are the characters well developed, the writing top notch, but the themes of these shows are progressive, thought provoking and relevant. Miss Fisher is a strong woman (like the other female characters), she is sharp and witty while still remaining stylish and feminine. The show while set in the 20's looks at major issues that are to really develop over the century. The show doesn't shy away from big topics like equality, poverty and politics, yet there isn't a moment where it feels preachy, but blends nicely with the overall plot. The fashion alone is worth watching this show, but you will soon be drawn into a great story. This is a show I can watch with anyone regardless of age or gender, just great acting and captivating mystery.

No Mystery for Mystery Girls
3 July 2014
Wow, this was worse than I could have ever imagined. I watched the pilot which didn't explain much in the way of setting, plot and characters. There was a major lack of "mystery" or anything detective related, in fact when met with anything remotely close to solving something, they were both dumbfounded. I found this show to elevate the "dumb blonde" stereotype and I wouldn't want any girl to watch it, for fear they may be influenced. Just bad all around, bad writing, acting and forced jokes. The addition of fake laughter for every bad joke was over the top. Making it through the pilot was painful, I would be surprised if this show continued.
