The ever-popular Murdoch Mysteries (2008-) is a Canadian television drama series set in Toronto beginning in 1895 and progressively follows Detective William Murdoch, who solves murder cases using methods of detection that were ahead of its time, alluding to future commonly used detection methods. These might include "finger marks" (fingerprinting), blood testing, surveillance, and trace evidence. The detective may use existing technology of his time to improvise a crude prototype that would help a 21st-century audience relate. For the same purpose, modern social issues are addressed. As with most modern historical interpretations, the show is a blend of fiction with aspects of fact. The Murdoch character may interact with actual historical figures as if the detective existed. The episodes can range from near slapstick to dark and gruesome murder investigations.
Supporting excellent opening graphics, Robert Carli composed a contemporary synthesized electronic "steampunk" arrangement. Listen to it HERE
