Fledgling detective Phryne Fisher is known for her sharp wit and pearl-handled pistol, which she uses to fight injustice in Melbourne during the 1920s. The glamorous sleuth makes her way through the city's alleyways and jazz clubs while she fights crime as part of a larger mission -- making sure that Murdoch Foyle, who she believes is responsible for the disappearance of her younger sister, stays behind bars. She fights for justice for people who can't help themselves, including exploited workers and missing girls.

Zoë Madonna Boston Globe 04/06/2020
The show is on the whole lighthearted but never too precious. And because a different whodunit occupies Miss Fisher every episode, it's easy to put down and pick up. Go to Full Review Lacy Baugher Culturess 03/26/2019
Phryne is exactly the sort of female character we need more of in shows like this. Go to Full Review Kayti Burt Den of Geek 03/25/2019
Even in the age of peak TV, there is a lot of redundancy on television. Phryne Fisher rises above the din. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 03/25/2019
4/5
It's the overall personality and style of the detective herself that make this show a winner. Go to Full Review Toni Ruberto Buffalo News 03/25/2019
The mysteries are interesting, Davis is loads of fun as Phryne and the 1920s costumes are so stunningly impeccable. Go to Full Review Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups 03/25/2019
Fun and flirty... with banter as dry as Nick and Nora's martinis in Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more Rudy A @RT31870702 09/30/2019 Essie Davis belongs in the Oxford Dictionary as one of the definitions of "delicious." Any series that runs three years is bound to have it's up and downs, but "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" is never less than delightful whenever Ms. Davis is on screen. See more leith s @RT17864709 06/27/2019 It is an absolute joy to watch this witty, irreverent lady detective frolic through the streets of Jazz Age Melbourne, accompanied by a delightful supporting cast.
