Murdoch Mysteries: Brother's Keeper (2018)
Season 12, Episode 7
9/10
On Par with The Accident
5 February 2019
Brother's Keeper is an episodic offering which on par with the excellence of The Accident (Seasion 11, Episode 7). The writing is tight, the pace interesting and exciting, the solid mystery is one that engages the viewer to play detective at home (with plenty of flashbacks - both theoretical and factual); and the performances are beautifully emotional. There is a light and airy subplot about Higgins trying to support his lovely bride in the manner in which she is accustomed (which permits Crabtree to be equal parts annoyed and compassionately helpful), but the meat of this tale is Watts, his past, and his choices. Daniel Maslany is restrained perfection for this sad and relevant tale of family and how far we go for the ones we love.
