Why, oh why did I have to discover Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries while I am seriously UNDER WATER in work, fic, and everything else. I have a zillion things to do and all I want to do is stay up all night and binge on Season 2 of Miss Fisher. Why did I not discover this sooner?
Oh My Gerd. I've not shipped anything this hard since, like Remington Steele. Or Scarecrow and Mrs. King. I ship this harder than I ever shipped Luke and Mara or Anne (with an E) and Gil or Lizzie and Darcy in every single incarnation which I will have you know is my touchstone for all ships.
I've watched 12 episodes in 5 days. This is UNHEARD of for me. And it's all streaming on Netflix.
The clothes! The characters! The clothes! The ridiculous mysteries! The flirting! The music! Oh sure, it's got it's problems and I really don't like when it turns grimdark! BUT... fan dancing! Tango! Jazz! HATS! Motor Cars! SO MUCH BOOZE. I know, I'm like so far behind the rest of the world with this but seriously, I love it. Also, and I mentioned this on Twitter, it's something that really, really makes me miss my mom. Oh she'd have her issues with the sex and sexuality and be all "Why did they have to go that far!" but it's the kind of thing you watch with your mom, or your sisters, or your lady friends. You'd drink side cars and cosmos, put on a feather boa and a sparkly crown and dance with each other to Cole Porter. (and yes, I've already watched the short where Phryne and Jack sing Let's Misbehave.
