Thanks for the memories!

People are voting emotionally.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This show is one of the best murder-series I have seen in a long time. I actually like it better then the series with Miss Marple with which it has been compared because there always seems to be a kind of contact with the viewer. Especially Jack Robinson makes remarks like if he is aware of the viewer which gives it an extra kind of fun. I also like, as others have said the big role for World War One in the series which must indeed have had a great impact on society. At last I really liked the surviving attitude Miss Fisher has with morals people in modern ages could learn from. It is not a show settled in the twenties but a show bridging the twenties to our modern time in a pleasant ironic way. I hope there will after all be a fourth series.

I heard this touted as a great show with a great heroine, and ... well, I sort of agree. It's "all right" as far as having a strong heroine goes, but I admit to being disappointed when they went the romance route with Phryne and Jack instead of a solid friendship. It's such an overdone route, and undermines everything that delighted me about Phryne to begin with - her frank enjoyment of sex, singlehood, and being an independent woman in a time when women were still expected to give up working when they got married. I much preferred having a 20s female James Bond type of character, who bedded men involved with the case, and solved the cases stylishly and coolly. It would have been a much fresher and more unique take on a "lady detective" than what actually happens. Also, now they have to find ways to drag it out, which just means continual irritating side stories taking time away from the main story of each episode - Jack's jealousy, Jack's ex-wife, etc., etc.I also didn't really enjoy the ongoing background stories much. Being filmed as short individual stories, I think they should have been kept as short individual stories. The longer ones just cut in and out too sloppily. Jane, for instance, is adopted, and then only ever seen again when she's useful to the story. This makes Phryne come off as selfish in the worst way, taking in a kid that she then ships off to school and never has anything to do with except when she's needed for a case. The child killer story and Phryne's father's story, like Jane, dropped in and out of each episode if and when necessary, but dropped out again a moment later. And frequently this was combined with cutting straight from solving a brutal, vicious murder to Phryne throwing yet another party. Again, makes Phryne (and co) come off as heartless.AND YET despite this, I loved it, believe it or not. Every regular character is a delight, and for each instance of the issues above, there were plenty of instances of fantastically enjoyable story, dialogue, action, etc. I love that Phryne frequently saves herself during a situation of her vs. villain, with Jack bursting in only in time to see her dusting herself off and waiting for him to make the 'official' arrest. I love their friendship. I LOVE the evolution of the relationship between Dot and Hugh, which is a much more satisfactory relationship than Jack and Phryne's. I love Bert and Cec, Mr. Butler, Mac, and good god, I adore Aunt Prudence, who is one of the delightful frequent recurrences in the series, and who dances on the line between "likeable" and "unlikeable" with style and grace, never falling definitely on either side.I also really enjoy the modern issues that show up - including but absolutely not limited to transgenderism, gay and lesbian relationships, various disabilities, and Phryne's attitude toward them all goes a long way to highlighting how despicable attitudes toward them were then, and how despicable they still are now. It's never awkward or forced, it just is a part of the people's lives and they are parts that Phryne accepts them as who they are. I'm not describing it well, but I feel it needs to be acknowledged as a very good thing.

Recently found this show on Netflix and it has made me a total addict. The cast, costumes and the period settings are superb. I also love the variety of settings in each story line - from circuses to factories to beaches. As for Ms Fisher and the Inspector - well I can't wait for their scenes together, and for their story line to develop. Above all else the show stands out for making ms fisher a truly liberated woman of her times, without compromising on her feminine charms. Essie Davis and the restrained acting from the Inspector are priceless. I am still in season one and am rationing how much I see each week as I don't want it to end.This show is Great help in my withdrawal symptoms from Downtown Abbey!

I have just watched season 1 episode 5, and as a Jewish girl that her native language is Hebrew I am quit offended by the lack of research/notice as to basic facts. First of all, there was a sentence on the bottom of a torn page that the characters kept saying how the sentence is written in 'ancient Hebrew'. This is false, and the entire page was written in 'ancient Hebrew' while the sentence on the bottom of the page is in 'modern Hebrew', so I was able to read it. Second of all, when the only character in the episode who knew 'ancient Hebrew' supposedly read and translated the sentence (the one I wrote about in the previous paragraph), he turned the page up-side-down, so the sentence was up-side-down as well. This is simply a lack of notice by the actors and director.
