Review of Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries

After absolutely loving "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries", I had such high hopes for this series. I loved the lead actress Geraldine Hakewill in the show "Wanted". She was absolutely amazing in it. However, I REALLY Tried to like this show, but it just fell flat for me. I watched a few episodes, and they were ok. However, I finally turned it off halfway through in the episode where the detective was drugged. I didn't feel he was believable and I didn't care for the storyline. It seemed too contrived. I kept (probably unfairly) comparing the detective's acting to the wonderful detective in the original series and to me, it fell short. In the original series, there was undeniable chemistry between Miss Fisher and the detective. However, in this series I just didn't feel any chemistry at all between them. My 85 year old mother who LOVED The original series was so excited to see this show. However, after we had watched 5 minutes of this she said "I cannot watch this." I am glad that many people enjoy this show. At 59, I may just be too old for it. Maybe the 30 somethings like this better. It just fell a little flat for me. Namaste.
