Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries: S01 - 2019 - 6/10
Spinoff / reboot of the Miss Fisher franchise suffers by comparison.
Set decades after Miss Fisher’s adventures, a low born niece inherits her aunt’s mantle.
She has no detective skills, is somewhat of a fish out of water, yet is soon part of the Adventuresses.
A love angle is forced in, yet the leads have no chemistry.
Indeed, the girl who plays Ms Fisher has no presence for the camera whatsoever.
Set in the early 60’s, the “look” and songs feel correct, but I am unsure. I suspect Australia, like the States, lagged England in fashion, style and creativity at that point.
At four episodes, it might provide a Fisher fix for grieving fans, especially after the Miss Fisher dud movie.
