Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Series 2

Miss Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, Girl with a Pearl Earring) is back with more intriguing mysteries and exquisite fashion. A private detective in 1920s Melbourne, Phryne has a knack for being in the right place at the right time—and she’s usually armed with the right weapon. Aided by her maid, Dorothy “Dot” Williams (Ashleigh Cummings, Tomorrow, When the War Began), Phryne ventures from the city’s mansions to its brothels, gaining admirers and enemies along the way. 

 

Often assisting their investigations are Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page, The Secret Life of Us) and Constable Hugh Collins (Hugo Johnstone-Burt, Cloudstreet). Jack finds Phryne’s eager interest in his cases exasperating, but he comes to rely on her crime-solving instincts—and is increasingly captivated by her other charms. John Noble (Fringe, Sleepy Hollow) guest stars in this series of the hit Australian drama. ~Amazon

 

As usual Essie Davis is magnificent in her role as Miss Fisher, a fun loving crime solver in an ever expanding world. When she’s not learning new dance steps or enjoying a quaint wine tasting Fisher is keen on solving crimes by using her open minded intelligence and worldly experience to go places no one else dare dream. Another excellent series of episodes well worth the purchase price.

 

PICTURE QUALITY: 

I have to admit that when I watch this show I am completely caught up in the set designs, costumes, beautiful actresses, and the music. That being said if you were just an average viewer you’d be hard pressed to pinpoint any of the issue this BD release may have. So if you’re not looking for some scattered noise issues or fleeting spots of brief aliasing you’ll probably be like most folks who find this release to be a perfect transfer, even for a 1080i quality. It’s almost not even worth mentioning the slight issues at hand. It really does look fantastic.
