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.

Review :
SEXY and mysterious and she stars in a crime series
A stellar Season 1; Season 2 is as Deco-delicious as the first.
Self-indulgent flapper Miss Fisher and her world are Hotsy-Totsy. Nifty! Kerry Greenwood, who's novels are adapted, calls this TV series "Perfect". Sets -locations- costumes -props, all the Bees Knees. Worth more than 5-stars, like Poirot, Downton Abbey, and Midsomer Murders. Ritzy 1920s Jazz included.
Flapper Period Bliss! I'm hoping for a ten-season run.

Phryne Fisher was a dame, brisk, but also innately kind, wealthy but hasn't lost the memory of her past poverty. She was heartwarming, sexy, funny, gutsy, intelligent, and late 29s modern-lady perfection. This arrogant, brash, flirt carried a .38, a diaphragm, and was a kleptomaniac with crime scene evidence items. Phryne (pronounced Fry-nee) was spiffily played by Essie Davis (Girl with a Pearl Earring). A PI, always a step ahead of the local cops, not unlike Poirot, Miss Marple, and Sherlock. Cops DI Jack (Nathan Page) and Constable Hugh (Hugo...
Please don't let it end!
The charm of this delightful series can be summed up by the following dialogue:

"There's been a murder, Mr. Butler."
"Does that mean there'll be one less for dinner?"

or how about:

(referring to Phryne [that's FRY-nee] on the telephone)
"It's Miss Fisher. She's on holiday again."
"Any murders yet?"
"Just one, sir."

I love it.

The first series of MISS FISHER'S MURDER MYSTERIES was an absolute delight. The Greta Garbo/Jean Harlow hybrid that IS the ineffable Essie Davis as Miss Phryne Fisher is back and in this reviewer's opinion, Series 2 is even better!

This outstanding Australian series is a breath of fresh air in the Detective/Mystery genre for a number of reasons: the acting, the scripting, the wit and taste in every aspect of production. If I had to single out one element that is perhaps the defining feature of this program, it would be the absolute...
The Sexiest Detective is back (even sexier) and even better jazz score this time. Review includes Bonus Features but NO SPOILERS
First a note: If you are coming to this review but have not watched Season/Series One, PLEASE go back to Season One and watch that first. It will put things in a better perspective to enjoy what has become my favorite mystery series (among many!). Really. Trust me. You can see my review of Series One here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R314SAGWHSEPCE/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00A27O5AW and I promise - ”NO SPOILERS” (I hate them!)

Now that I’ve encouraged you to start with Series One, I’ll turn my attention to this product – I don't see the BD version listed on Amazon yet - The actual release date is May 27th - I was provided a review copy by the distributor - but Amazon usually combines DVD and BD versions anyway. The Bluray of Series Two. There are a few reasons to get the BD versus the standard DVD and watching it on Amazon Instant or one of the streaming services. The BD has great images and you’ll probably hear the great 20s...

This specific subject delivers surpass out prospect, that one has turned into a wonderfull upgrade on myself, The concept arrived safely along with swiftly Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries 1


Based on the novels by Kerry Greenwood

“A blockbuster hit” —The Sydney Morning Herald
“Witty and elegant” —The Australian

Seen on public television

In 1920s Melbourne, the Honorable Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, Girl with a Pearl Earring) is a thoroughly modern woman operating in a mostly male world. The glamorous “lady detective” goes about her work with a pistol close at hand—and, more often than not, a male admirer even closer.

To the dismay of Detective Inspector Jack Robinson (Nathan Page, The Secret Life of Us), Phryne’s investigations take her through back alleys, jazz clubs, and shady neighborhoods. Ignoring the dangers all around her, she glides through life determined to enjoy every moment. But beneath her devil-may-care attitude, Phryne hides ghosts from the past that continue to haunt her.

Gorgeously costumed and evocatively shot, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries also stars Hugo Johnstone-Burt (Cloudstreet), Ashleigh Cummings (Tomorrow, When the War Began), Miriam Margolyes (Little Dorrit), and Nicholas Bell (Shine). Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings) guest stars.

Review :
Phryne's fans need have no fear
When I read Cocaine Blues, I fell hard for Phryne (FRY-KNEE) Fisher, Dot, the Butlers, Inspector Robinson (call me Jack) Bert and Cec and the rest of the characters in Kerry Greenwood's delightful series and have since read every Phryne I could get my hands on.

Imagine my joy when, through the miracle of Roku and an Acorn Premium membership, Miss Fisher's Mysteries showed up as a January-February offering and I realized that this was indeed MY Phryne! I've now, at great sacrifice of housekeeping and household nutrition, watched every episode in Season One. I can, without reservation, hereby pronounce Miss Fisher's Mysteries a triumph!

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation spared no expense in recreating the Melbourne of the late 1920s nor the luxurious accoutrements of Phryne's world from Hispano-Suiza, to steam train, to Phryne's spectacular wardrobe. Essie Davis is perfect; fully portraying the many facets of Phryne, champion of the underdog, sensuous...
Good DVD/BluRay Extras and 13 Murder Mysteries Both Playful and Grim
The Honorable Phryne Fisher has a lot in common with Emma Peel. Smart, dresses to kill, athletic, sexy and courageous. And they both solve mysteries. Except Phryne (pronounced FRY-knee) lives in 1928 and her foes are more realistic than the I-vant-to-rule-the-world type usually found in "The Avengers".

We first meet Phryne disembarking at Melbourne, Australia. She almost immediately receives an engraved invitation to dine with her old friends, Lydia and John Andrews, and her indefatigable gossip of an aunt.

When Phryne arrives at the Andrews', it's just in time to see her host's body carried out on a police stretcher. According to Aunt Prudence, "It seems that John collapsed suddenly after a light breakfast of tea and kumquat marmalade toast. And the maid found him, purple in the face and cold to the touch on the bathroom floor."

Phryne's investigation leads her to several interesting characters, including a French-Russian tango dancer,...

Move over, Mrs Bradley - there's another jazz-age lady sleuth in town! Author Kerry Greenwood first began writing her series of "Phryne Fisher" books in 1989, and earned legions of fans worldwide with her glamorous, sharp-witted 1920's heroine, Miss Phryne Fisher.

The Hon. Phryne Fisher has returned to Melbourne, Australia after many years of living abroad. Despite her well-heeled manner, Phryne hides a hardscrabble childhood spent in abject poverty, and is still haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her beloved sister Janey. It takes only a few moments after Phryne's arrival on the Melbourne dock for the murders and mysteries to start, but with her talent for attracting friends from all walks of life, including cab drivers Bert (Travis McMahon) and Cec (Anthony Sharpe), Mr Butler (Richard Bligh), Constable Hugh Collins (Hugo Johnstone-Burt), Aunt Prudence (Miriam Margolyes), Dr Mac (Tammy Macintosh) and new ward Jane (Ruby Rees Wemyss), Phryne is ready for...

This unique thing provides overtake the prospect, that one has developed into a great upgrade on personally, The thought appeared correctly and swiftly Miss Marple: Volume Three


In this beautifully remastered set you will find four deliciously complex mysteries that will keep you guessing in the lively company of Miss Jane Marple, played by Joan Hickson, Agatha Christie s handpicked actress for the role. Never one to sit idle, Miss Marple finds her luxurious Barbados vacation a bit dull until Major Palgrave s murder turns it into A Caribbean Mystery. Her London stay seems a bit too perfect until she discovers something sinister behind the Edwardian façade At Bertram s Hotel. How can Miss Marple resist visiting the seaside villa of a young couple plagued by terrifying memories of a Sleeping Murder? And how will she solve an unspecified crime in Nemesis, when her only clue is a ticket for a tour of historic homes and gardens, pre-paid by a dead man? These four newly restored suspenseful dramas complete this must-own collection.


Review :
Extraordinary Classic British Mysteries With an Extraordinary Actress
Oh Frabjous Day! The last set of the remastered Miss Marples starring Joan Hickson is available to order. I have all her Marples on the 2000 DVD issues. But I've watched them so many times I decided to buy Volume One of the remastered sets, just to see if it would be worth it. It was! Now I have Volumes One & Two and the colors are bright and beautiful, the viewing sharp, the sound cleaned up, and the mysteries and personalities as wonderful as ever.

Volume Three has four episodes and one bonus extra on the last disc. The bonus is Part 3 of Dr. Lucy Worsley's 3-part TV series "A Very British Murder". (Parts 1 and 2 of Worsley's fun look at murder in England appears on the Miss Marple remasterings' Volume One & Two.)

Following Volumes One & Two, the Volume 3 episodes are presented in the original 4:3 aspect ratio. Sound is still mono, but it has been cleaned up. English subtitles are available. There's a total 450 minutes of excellent mystery...
Brilliantly restored from original films
Even thought these were filmed in 16mm (the BBC standard) they will still be a great improvement over the old washed out standard definition film transfers from the early 1990's.

The episodes have been completely remastered to high definition quality from the original film elements by BBC Studios and Post Production's Digital Media Services team.

Regarded by many fans as the definitive Miss Marple, Joan Hickson was one of the oldest actresses to take a lead role in a major television series when she was cast as Agatha Christie's soft-spoken, sharp-eared sleuth at the age of 78 in 1984. She retired eight years later, having completed 12 mysteries in the Miss Marple series - four of which are collected in this volume.

These are in their original BBC versions, which varied greatly in their broadcast. Some as one episode, others split into multiple episodes.

It is amazing what they have done with digital corrections and blue ray. Compare these to the old series on dvd and there is no connection. The new series are like a whole new program. Yes it is in box format but this is because the 16mm film format is box format. The sound is clear and not mufilled, there are subtitles. The colors have contrast, saturation and crispness. They are not cheap, but the tech hours to redue these films is enormous! The price is worth every penny. These dvds will last for generations. There was only one Joan Hickson.

I have been waiting for this since the Poirot's were re-mastered in HD from the original 16mm film elements.

Most Authentic Miss Marple
For the person who said the list of episodes is not listed, the titles are right on the front of the box! (just look at the picture of the DVD box). I have enjoyed all the versions of Miss Marples by the various actresses who have portrayed her, but Joan Hickson is the most authentic. She plays the part just as Agatha Christie wrote it and exactly how I envisioned her when I read the books.

Miss Marple: "When there’s anything fishy about, I never believe anyone at all! You see, I know human nature so well.”
“Murder at the Vicarage”
“The Body in the Library”
“The Moving Finger”
“A Murder is Announced”

These adaptations of Agatha’s Christie’s deliciously entertaining mystery novels are just that; finely adapted from the original stories. In addition, they are exquisitely well handled by Joan Hickson as Miss Marple. Each story, moreover, has been completely remastered so that they look much better, as well.

Of course, one can be fans of the talents of Geraldine McEwan (and/or Julia McKenzie), but should you watch versions of these stories featuring Geraldine McEwan you will be ‘treated’ to---just to mention a few inventions--a flashback of an affair of Miss Marple’s with a married man in Murder in the Vicarage, the surprise of a different murderer in the Body in the Library and lesbian issues in both that adaptation as well in A Murder is Announced.

Consequently, if...
