It appears the Austrailians are every bit as good at crafting entertaining mysteries as their as their English cousins. A case in point is "Mr & Mrs Murder", a light-hearted Austrailian cozy mystery originally aired in 2013. Shaun Micallef plays Charlie Buchanan and Kat Stewart plays his wife Nicola. Together they operate a crime scene cleaning service, making them ideally suited for finding evidence and clues overlooked by the police. Micallef and Stewart imbue their characters with enough quirks and foibles that makes them entertaining and just slightly over-the-top. My wife and I have viewed this series many times and find something new and enjoyable with each viewing. Highly recommended!

I really enjoy this show and give it 8.5/10. It's just not predictable, well-acted, tight editing & camera work and a great script.To start with I had low expectations as the promo was lame and the leader actor "Shaun Micallef" I felt would never be able to hold together an hour show, as I had seen him prior as a comedy compare. As it happens the series was written by Shaun & Jason Stephens and they have done a great job… well at least until episode 4 "Atlas Drugged" which is when I typed this.To put it simply this is a truly original spin on the murder-cop show genre in which the plot whilst still clever is really a simple elevator to the clever & subtle humour, derived from delightfully timed lines and fresh comedy writing. Watch it, this is a good show and there are so few on free to air!!

As a fan of the 'who dun it 'genre I love this show , from the groovy credits and music to the locations and story lines. Shaun is a genius. I love how they play the characters and how the stories unfold . Especially the quirky humor in the 1st episode with their mate in the wheelchair who seemed to know a lot more about murder than was healthy to know. Melbourne seems to be a great location for these plots to play out. I do hope the characters will have to travel for work and more cases so we can see more of Victoria. By and large I haven't liked any other Australia productions since the 80's comedy scene. Keep 'em coming' I say !

Mr and Mrs murder is a married couple and their daughter who are crime scene cleaners turned detectives! Shaun is well cast as the Sherlock type who can analyze a situation and pick up on obscure clues to determine the truth. Some of the facts that he comes up with are ridiculous like a left handed dog! He works out that a dog is a killer because it wasn't the same dog who shook with a different paw! Ridiculous! The wife is a paranoid woman with a dog phobia but she is also a sleuth and picks up on clues as well. I usually can't stand Aussie shows but this one is OK! Not great, but OK! The quality of production is poor especially when they walk around their house. It has wooden floor boards which are extraordinarily loud when anyone walks around! The show is basic and mildly entertaining but Shaun makes it watchable, if it wasn't for him it would be unbearable because so far the story line is simplistic and not thought out!
