Murdoch Mysteries, CBC – “Republic of Murdoch”
When a traveller is found dead in his hotel room clutching an ancient map, it leads Murdoch and Crabtree to the Colony of Newfoundland. There, a flinty character named Jacob Doyle (Allan Hawco) becomes Murdoch’s prime suspect. As he delves deeper into the case, Murdoch uncovers bitter feuds and promises of riches that reveal the true motive behind the murder.
Cracked, CBC – “Voices”
When the Property Manager at a seedy Parkdale tenement house winds up murdered, things take a strange turn when a resident with schizophrenia appears with the murder weapon, claiming the devil told him where it was. The team need to sort fact from delusion in their quest for the truth, a quest that leads deep into a terrifying nightmare. Guest stars: Natalie Brown, Noah Reid.
I’m pretty excited for this. It sounds like a fun episode. Republic of Doyle has become a must-watch show for me–even though the storylines are wonky and ridiculous (although that might be on purpose I believe) I enjoy seeing Newfoundland and I enjoy the show’s little moments between characters and the dialogue. I don’t watch Murdoch Mysteries regularly but occasionally I give it a gander.
