Murdoch Mysteries

If you're looking for a binge worthy show, you found the right one. Filled with mysteries, historical events, and even a few love stories, Murdoch Mysteries is fitting for everyone. After watching one episode, you won't be able to stop, but lucky you, there's 11 seasons, and it's still going.

Murdoch Mysteries is a tv-show based on the life of William Murdoch, a fictional detective working in the 20th century. With the help of Julia Ogden, one of the first female doctor working as a medical examiner for the police, inspector Brackenreid, George Crabtree, a loyal constable, and many historical figures guest appearing, he solves the hardest crimes in Toronto. Being ahead of his time, he uses science, innovative methods, and inventions of his own to help the Toronto constabulary.

What I like most of this tv-show is the historical accuracy. Many guest characters troughout the seasons are real people that lived at that time. For example, Mark Twain, Nikola Tesla, Arthur Conan Doyle, and many more. These are played by actors, of course. Also, many historical events take place in the serie, like the Great Toronto Fire, or the murder of an american president. When my family and I watch the show, we always have a phone or tablet close, in case we think there's a reference to historical events. It's a lot of fun discovering new people, like that time my mom discovered her favorite painter when he was portrayed in the show.

I  also like that we really believe we are in the 20th century. The costumes are extraordinary, really fitting for the time, especially for the women's outfits, that have to represent a time when women couldn't show legs without causing chaos. They were able to create costumes not only representative of the time, but of their characters also. For exemple,Julia Ogden. She's a working women, but also working in a traditionally masculine line of work. Her clothes represent her well, as they are feminine, but also uncanny, as only a few women would wear that back in the 1900's.

To sum up, Murdoch Mysteries is a great show for mystery lovers, history fans, or for people who want to watch a long tv-show, and have the time to get attached with the characters, because spoiler alert, you will.

Full House

Making yourself a place in the cinematic world can be really tough, and some TV shows may become a huge flop. Despite the risks of failure and bankruptcy, producers try to make it in the business, and end up giving us masterpieces, like Full House . Full House is the story of a young widower who asks his clowny best friend and his biker brother-in-law to move-in with him and help raise his three daughters. Growing without their mom won't be easy for the girls, but with Danny, Joey and Jessie as father figures, it sure won't be boring. One of the things I like most of Full House is the jokes. Sometimes, I would cry of laughter, and when I'd finally be able to catch my breath, I would start laughing again. The show technically is a comedy, but this one is particularly funny. Their jokes are timeless, lifting our spirit when we're down, and putting a smile on our faces. Furthermore, the other aspects that make Full House so special,

Lethal Weapon

Based on the movie by the same name, Lethal Weapon is a remotely recent serie. A perfect mix between action movies and comedy shows, you're sure to stay on the edge of your seat, all the while laughing until you cry. Lethal Weapon is the story of Roger Murtaugh, a 50 years old police officer, about to retire to spend time with his family, recently paired with Martin Riggs, a young and wild officer, unafraid of death, almost craving it, since his wife, and soon-to-be-born baby, passed away. Together, they solve crimes, not suprising since they're in the LAPD, and they do it their way, most of the time ending up with them barely escaping death. What I like most of this TV show is the humour. The chemistry between the characters, the way Murtaugh and Riggs bicker each other, or how they invent stories to manipulate suspects, makes me laugh each time. Riggs being careless amd getting both of them in messy, and dangerous, situations, never gets old. Also, the family vibe
