Thanks.
Comcast is adding ISP in May and I just checked out Ovation and The Artful Detective will be on at 12mn tonight.
I’ll DVR the program.

I hope you like it as much as we do. You have to watch the whole thing (and several episodes) to catch the humor and the subtlties.

Basically, he’s shy and he’s in love with the coroner, bt he’s always late in declaring his love and she goes off to do something else. He’s carrying a ring around in his pocket. She comes back, but I don’t know where it will end. My daughter won’t tell me, because she doesn’t want to spoil the story line.

A recurring pair of characters in the series seem to be a wealthy couple named “The Pendricks” who have a lot of influence around town. Murdoch thinks that James Pendrick is responsible for a murder for which they were never able to convict him. The Pendricks appear in about a quarter of the episodes I’ve seen.

Another feature of this series is that real historical characters appear from time to time as part of the story — Houdini, H.G. Wells, Tesla come to mind.
