The series should never have been cancelled. Looking forward to the movie very much. The wardrobe of the 1920’s is to die for, just gorgeous!!!

Cancelling the series Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries was one of the dumbest mistakes made by Australian television - the show was successful and popular and yet cancelled. I read at the time they wanted to make room for other programs - there had to be another reason, they couldn’t have been that stupid.

Essie brings the character of Miss Fisher to life...with all the wit and emotion, physical presence and conviction that many of today's actors don't have..I was so very very excited when I heard of the movie and can't wait to watch it..Well done all on bring Miss Fisher back!!

Just to see her and Jack together again just made my day !

[TrialJunkiesUnited]

They need to bring this series back. I can't watch the new one. The original is the one I love. I can't wait for the movie.

Essie Davis is a great actress, albeit a bit underrated. She should have more films so the the whole world can appreciate her beauty and talent! Kudos, Ms. Davis!

I am a Canadian who enjoys Australian programs. The cancellation of Miss Fisher was sad. Just as I discover these great shows, they disappear.

I can hardly believe I will be watching this film in just two days. Phryne has meant so much to me since the moment I first encountered her. I couldn't be more excited.

It broke my heart when the television series stopped. I loved this series, thank you for bringing this to the small and big screen. I am a British ex-pat now living in America. Also have all the Miss Fisher books, wonderful…

It has 3 things I love. The 1920's, mystery and Australian accents

[judykinsman]

Will we ever see a return?? She and the whole cast & writing - the best!!!

[monicamiller]

Im happy about this movie! I have missed the series, wishing that it had continued, rather than being "replaced" by a similar one with new actors. Essie Davis is perfect for this character, whether she is 30 or 60. I hope there will be more movies!! Thank you!

I find it fascinating that the show managed to be so sexy while barely showing any skin.

I was annoyed they cancelled this series. Now when it is aired on PBS I record it to watch at my favorite time. I put in my vote to bring this show back. I enjoyed watching Ms Davis in her brief role in Game of Thrones. It reminded me how much I missed her. Just loved her character/s on both shows.

I I may inject a male voce here, I'd like to go on record as saying I enjoyed the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries immensely. I watched every episode on Netflix - twice. I do hope the feature film becomes available in Canada, I would dearly love to see "the team" back in action.

I am an American who loves Miss Fisher. I was so unhappy when it was done. It needs to return as a series

[peachtreelady]

I agree! One of the BEST shows ever! Soooo disappointed that they didn’t do a Series 4. Goodness gracious! Great wholesome entertainment! Bring it back please! ❤️

[esthera-murray]

WE NEED MORE MISS FISHER!! Absolutely brilliant series and even the spin off is great and deserves to continue running as well!

[pamheumphreus]
