It's a Canadian crime series set in the late Victorian era. One thing that I enjoy about it is that it also takes real characters that were around in that era - including Tesla, for example - and weaves them into the plot. That always gives me a kick.

And even better, you can get see the 'original version' of each episode, i.e. in English rather than the dubbed German version. German dubbing is bloody awful as all the characters sound the same. Even the yokels sound middle class. Terrible.

Anyway, for your delight and delectation, here is the link:
