Miss Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries: Series 1 [Region 2]

good value for money

Brilliant thank you

The dvds appear to be in good condition. No scratches or marks on the discs. I'm not sure if they play yet as I am giving it to someone as a gift. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because the case was a bit battered.

I wasn’t sure about this at first as I am a big fan of the original Miss Fisher Mysteries but I was pleasantly surprised. I did wonder how Phryne could have a niece as her sister died young but that was explained as a result of her father’s philandering- totally believable! The modern Miss Fisher has much in common with her aunt and the character translates very well into a 1960s modern woman. She has her own tame detective who is very sweet though he could never compete with Jack Robinson - sorry!

I picked this up on a whim because I love the Sixties. It's fun, light, frothy and fab. Good performances from everyone involved, great characters, lovely design - an entertaining package. If it sends you back to the original 1920s-set Miss Fisher books, TV series and movies, don't blame me!

What a remarkable update from the Phryne Fisher series. Excellent casting, good story lines and nice chemistry between characters. This more than made up for the less than accurate series that did not really reflect the original character of Phryne Fisher. I do hope that the TV networks continue to produce such excellent material in future.

This arrived and was not shrink wrapped. I ordered a new copy (its for a present) and it looks like its been previously used. Misleading.

Peregrine is very definitely her aunt Phryne's niece, and I mean that as a compliment to the writers, and to Geraldine Hakewell as Ms Peregrine Fisher.Some aspects of the show seem less satisfactory though; Detective James Steed and Birdie Birnside feel a lot like name changes on DI Jack Robinson and Elizabeth "Mac" MacMillan from Miss Fisher (although that's partly a compliment to Tammy MacIntosh on how well she played Mac).Also, while the fashion is spot on for the period again, I had less of a feeling that this was Melbourne in the 1960s than that Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries was in the 1920s. When/if there's a sequel series, include me in though.

Serie entretenida que refleja los años 60

Read positive reviews of this series and they were correct.Just make sure you have correct player or program to run the DVD ‘S.

I waited a long time for MS Fisher 4th series but it never happened. Then I saw this on Amazon and had to give it a try. The actress in different but good. The series follows the same format as the original but more English than Australian. The main character plays the niece of the original MS Fisher. Good fun.

I ordered this by mistake, but kept it. It does not come even close to the original, content, plots, acting is all rather a B-quality. I ordered the original and probably never watch this again.

Excellent, fun and clever.
