A gripping collection of Victorian thrillers about a cop who is years ahead of his time.

In the late 19th century, Toronto city police Detective William Murdoch takes a new, more scientific approach to murder investigation.

Detective Murdoch seeks to find and protect his newly discovered son from the Black Hand gang. Meanwhile, Brackenreid's son has sprung loose from jail and is on the run, and Crabtree finds himself in a compromised situation as he tries to save Effie from her kidnappers.

Murdoch and the team face off against Halloween horrors in these two episodes from the beloved series. Sir. Sir? Sir!!!: When several people behave oddly after a meteor shower, Crabtree believes it's up to him to defend Earth from an alien invasion. Murdoch and the Cursed Caves: A couples' camping trip on Halloween takes a turn for the worse when two are seemingly killed by a giant beast.

In the 1890's, Detective William Murdoch adopts modern techniques like 'finger marks' and forensics to track Toronto's most sinister killers. Though derided by his skeptical boss, Murdoch finds friends and allies in a lovely pathologist and an eager-to-learn constable. Along the way they cross paths with some of the era's most famous figures, including Nikola Tesla, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Prince Alfred.

Detective Murdoch and his team continue to tackle Edwardian Toronto's toughest mysteries, from the serious and historic to the comic and unusual.
