Let me introduce you to my latest TV obsession: Murdoch Mystery. My sister, who has a good nose for these things, a and a wee obsession with the 19th century, introduced it to me when I got home from school. It’s a Canadian show and is set in Toronto. It features Detective William Murdoch, who solves murder mysteries with his unconventional methods (think a kinder, century-old version of House).

The best part of the show, however, is Dr. Julia Ogden, the pathologist and mortician. We love Dr. Ogden! She’s so brainy! And cool! Women in science, ftw!

Anyway, it comes on on Wednesday and Sunday nights on CITY for my little Canucks out there.
