The things Phryne does to catch Detective Inspector Jack Robinson's attention ;-P |
Have just finished having a Miss Fisher marathon. I love this TV series. Phryne is a modern woman investigating murder and mayhem in 1920's Melbourne. Ahead of her time, Phryne bulldozers her way through long standing social barriers and cultural divides with style. Always at the ready with a flirty smile and a helping hand. This show has a little bit of everything - minus the gratuitous sex, language and violence - and the costumes are divine! One of my favourite episodes is 2x01 "Murder Most Scandalous". This is the fan dance episode where Phryne goes undercover at a gentleman's club. As you can see from the pics, the costume is just so beautiful.... {please excuse the poorer quality - I took these photos straight from the TV!}
My favourite shot. The embellishment on the shoulder-spine jewellry is beautiful. |
So far there has been no word about Season 3. Aparently the ABC is procrastinating because it is so popular, but it doesn't appeal to the demographic range they're trying to get. A poor excuse, but I'm hoping that public support will win through and we'll get a new season in 2015. If you haven't seen the Miss Fisher Murder Mystery series, and you love Miss Marple and Poirot, then try Phryne. It's truly divine ;-D
