What kind of watch this is
Murdoch Mysteries takes Victorian Toronto and turns its fog into a forensic laboratory. Detective William Murdoch, played by Yannick Bisson, applies early science to a city that is still deciding if it wants to be modern. He is not alone in this fight. Dr. Julia Ogden, played by Helene Joy, uses the same tools to carve out a space for women in a room built for men. The tension is not just about solving crimes, but about proving the right to exist in the solution. It is a long commitment, with 334 episodes to watch. That is 334 hours of Victorian skepticism.
