One of the genres of really gotten into is mystery, and crime drama,
mostly fiction. There some good one’s already out, and some new ones coming
soon. One of my personal favorites are the classic whodunnits, like from the
1920’s, to the 1940’s. Some examples of great ones are Murdoch Mysteries, and
Frankie Drake Mysteries.
There are different types of
mysteries that one can get into. There are the storylines, where each episode
is part of the mystery, or where there’s a bigger mystery in the background.
Then, there are the different mysteries in each episode, or upfront. Both kinds
of plots can be interesting.
Soap operas, like General Hospital, have storylines, that span several
episodes, and these can suck you in, especially if there’s a mystery involved.
There's this series on Netflix, it has a vintage, mystery feel,
described by sources as an “Agatha Christie whodunit”. While watching the
trailer, it sort of reminded me of the Orient Express, and Clue. I discovered
that it's set in the 1940's, after WWII, when two sisters are leaving Spain, by
sailing on an ocean liner, owned by the older sister's fiancé. As their heading
to the ship, they appear to hit a woman, who is running from something, so they
sneak her on board the ship. While traveling to their supposed new life,
there’s a whole cast of interesting, and compelling characters. Quite a few of
them turn into suspects when it seems a woman is tossed overboard.
Netflix has this show in both Spanish, and English dubbed, which is how
I got to watch the first time. Now I'm totally hooked, and I so hope to see
season 2.
