quarterlife is the product of writer-heroes Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick who gave us two landmark tv series: thirty-something and My So Called Life. Their web drama series has been available since November. […]
Murdoch Mysteries, which premiered in Toronto last night and around the country on other nights this week, knows just what kind of a show it is and shares that information with us right up front in the teaser.
