Mr & Mrs Murder is a new murder investigation themed comedy-drama in Australia starring Shaun Micallef (Full Frontal, SeaChange, Welcher & Welcher, Laid) and Kat Stewart (Supernova, Underbelly, :30 Seconds, Tangle and Offspring) both of whom are no strangers to the Australian TV audience. They don't play detectives, they are the team that goes in and cleans up murder scenes while practicing their amateur interest in solving crimes. I think this is sort of a jab at the endless shows out there of this nature. You know, all the "medical examiner" shows featuring pathologist-fashion model-international spy types that end up solving all the crimes. In reality - they perform autopsies. End of story. And then there are the Marple types and private investigators and so on. Perhaps Rosemary & Thyme inspired this show? If you like that one you'll most likely enjoy this. Shaun's a funny and clever comic and he makes it work. Thirteen 45-minute episodes. No word on if this will be returning in the future.
