I've watched every single episode of this series. It would get 9-10 stars if the last few seasons were as good as the first few, but they're not. The latest episodes have become parodies: the idea that a famous historical figure is part of the plot has turned into an exaggerated farce. Most of the characters, even Murdoch himself, are now two-dimensional. They have one or two character traits that dictate their behavior. Murdoch is mechanical and emotionless, Julia is stiff in her perpetual pregnancy. George was developing nicely, but now he seems to be out. The only bright spot is Watts with his wacky facial expressions and physicality.
