I don't know if I have a rating. I don't even think I could give it one as stars can't describe the emotional pull this particular Murdoch Mysteries had on me. Rightly so, it has a completely different feel to the others, yet there is familiarity in Murdoch, his relationship with other members of his department, and the Toronto landscape.
Here we see that crime and death is complex, that context and experience have control, and that sometimes the reasons are beyond our understanding.
I thought I felt cheated by the huge time jump between A Journeyman to Grief and Let Darkness Bury The Dead but now I don't mind. This story was more about the personal and mental affects of war rather than anything and I applaud Maureen Jannings for providing me with a perspective I don't usually see or read about.
