In Murdoch Mysteries: The Movies, we follow Detective William Murdoch, a brilliant and inventive detective in Toronto in the late 1890s. In season 1 episode 1, titled "Except the Dying," we are introduced to Murdoch as he investigates the murder of a young woman, named Laura Palmer. The case takes place in the up-and-coming neighborhood of The Ward, which is home to many marginalized communities and where Laura was found dead.

Murdoch is quickly able to determine that Laura was likely strangled to death and that she likely knew whoever her killer was. As he delves deeper into the case, he discovers that Laura had recently given birth, but her child was nowhere to be found. Determined to find the child and bring the killer to justice, Murdoch must navigate the complex world of the Toronto elite who are trying to keep their secrets hidden.

Along the way, Murdoch collaborates with his colleagues in the police department, including Inspector Brackenreid and Dr. Julia Ogden, a pathologist who often assists him in his cases. They also meet wealthy businessman James Pendrick, who may have some information that could help them solve the case.

As they continue to investigate, Murdoch and his team encounter several obstacles, including corrupt police officers and influential members of society who are determined to prevent them from getting to the truth. Despite the setbacks, Murdoch persists in his quest for justice and is able to piece together the clues to solve the case and bring the killer to justice.

"Except the Dying" is a thrilling and engaging start to Murdoch Mysteries: The Movies. The characters are well developed, and the setting of late 19th century Toronto is richly detailed and immersive. The murder mystery itself is well-constructed and will keep viewers guessing until the very end. Fans of period dramas and crime thrillers will enjoy this show and its unique blend of historical fiction and detective work.
